A straight line drawn from the point P(1,3,2)P(1, 3, 2), parallel to the line x−21=y−42=z−61\frac{x-2}{1} = \frac{y-4}{2} = \frac{z-6}{1}, intersects the plane L1:x−y+3z=6L_1 : x - y + 3z = 6 at the point QQ. Another straight line which passes through QQ and is perpendicular to the plane L1L_1 intersects the plane L2:2x−y+z=−4L_2 : 2x - y + z = -4 at the point RR. Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?
