If P(2, m) is the midpoint of the line joining Q(m, n) and R(n, -4), find the values of m and n.

A.

m = 0, n = 4

B.

m = 4, n = 0

C.

m = 2, n = 2

D.

m = -2, n = 4

Correct answer is A

Q(m, n) and R(n, -4)

Midpoint : P(2, m)

(m+n2,n42)=(2,m)

m+n=2×2m+n=4...(i)

n4=2×mn4=2m...(ii)

Solving (i) and (ii) simultaneously,

m = 0 and n = 4.
