\huge \sf༆ Answer ༄

Using section formula ~


\sf x = ( mx_2 + nx_1)/(m + n)


\sf y = ( my_2 + ny_1)/(m + n)

Midpoint divides a line into ratio of 1 : 1, therefore the values m and n are equal to 1


\sf x = ( x_2+ x_1)/(1 + 1)


\sf y= ( y_2+ y_1)/(1 + 1)

Next step :

Use the coordinates of given points to find the coordinates of mid point ~

that is ;


{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \:x = (2 + 3)/(2)


{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \:y = (2 + 5)/(2)

Next step :


{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \:x = 2.5


{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \:y = 3.5

So, the required option is ~


\large \sf {(2.5 \: , \: 3.5)}
