`P`
and `Q`
are points on the line joining `A(-2,5)`
and `B(3,1)`
such that `A P=P Q=Q B`
. Then, the distance of the midpoint of `P Q`
from the origin is
3 (b) `(sqrt(37))/2`
(b) 4
(d) 3.5
A. 3
B. `sqrt(37//2)`
C. 4
D. `3.5`

Correct Answer - B
The midpoint of PQ is the midpoint of AB which is `R(1//2,3)`. Therefore,
`OR=sqrt((1)/(4)+9)=sqrt(37)/(2)` .
