Answer
Given,
Mid-point of the line segment joining (4p, 5) and (2, 3q) is (5, 5p - 1).

By mid-point formula,
(x, y) =
Substituting values we get :
Comparing the x coordinates, we get :
⇒ 2p + 1 = 5
⇒ 2p = 5 - 1
⇒ 2p = 4
⇒ p =
⇒ p = 2.
Comparing y-coordinates we get :
p = 2 and q = .
Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
