Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(34\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Centroid of triangle with vertices \((4, p,-3),(-1,-1,2),(3,5,-8)\) is \[ \left(\frac{4-1+3}{3}, \frac{p-1+5}{3}, \frac{-3+2-8}{3}\right) \] which is \(\left(2, \frac{4+p}{3},-3\right)\). Mid-point of \((1,4,-2)(q, 2,-4)\) is \(\left(\frac{1+q}{2}, 3,-3\right)\) As both points…
