Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

It's given that p + q has a value of
(12)/(5)

So the equation representing the relation will be,

p + q =
(12)/(5) --------(1)

Value of p is
(4)/(5)

p =
(4)/(5)

By substituting the value of p in the equation (1),


(4)/(5)+q=(12)/(5)

q =
(12)/(5)-(4)/(5)

q =
(8)/(5)

Therefore, Option B will be the correct option.
