Answer:

(b, c)

Explanation:

The mid-point of two vertices or point is calculated by adding the respective coordinates of those points and then dividing by two. The x-coordinates will be added and then divided by 2 and then y-coordinates will be added and divided by 2.

So for the given question,

P(0,0)

Q(2a,0)

And

R(2b, 2c)

Mid-point of PR =( (0+2b)/2, (0+2c)/2)

=(2b/2, 2c/2)

=(b,c)

So the mid-point of PR is (b, c)

Last option is the correct answer..
