Question 19 The mid-point of (3p, 4) and (ā2, 2q) is (2, 6) . Find the value of p + q (a) 5 (b) 6 (c) 7 (d) 8 Let point M (2, 6) be Mid-point of A (3p, 4) and B (ā2, 2a) Now, Coordinates of mid-point M = ((š„_1 + š„_2)/2,(š¦_1 + š¦_2)/2) (2, 6) = ((šš + (āš) )/š,(š + šš)/š) (2, 6) = ((3š ā 2)/2,(2š + 4)/2) Comparing x-coordinate 2 = (šš ā š)/š 2 Ć 2 = 3p ā 2 4 = 3p ā 2 4 + 2 = 3p 6 = 3p 3p = 6 p = 6/3 p = 2 Comparing y-coordinate 6 = (šš + š)/š 6 Ć 2 = 2q + 4 12 = 2q + 4 12 ā 4 = 2q 8 = 2q 2q = 8 q = 8/2 q = 4 Thus, p + q = 2 + 4 = 6 So, the correct answer is (b)
