In a ΔABC, ∠A = 90° and the coordinate of A is (2, 1) and the mid-point of the hypotenuse is 3 2 ,   - 5 2 . If the coordinate of its centroid is G(p, q), then the value of p – q is

Your question seems incomplete.
Please provide me with the co-ordinates of the mid-pt of the hypotenuse.

Ok it is a Math Processing Error problem on the website.
The co-ordinates are (32,52) right?

The point which is common to all the three medians is called the centroid and this point divides each median in the ratio 2:1.
Now, apply the section formula
m1=2
m2=1
x1 = 2      y1 = 1
x2  = 32  y2 = 52  

You will get (p,q)=(22,35)
p=22      q=35

p-q
=22-35
= -12.
