The correct answer is: $-1,-3, \frac{7}{3}$
$\begin{aligned} & \left(r, \frac{-4}{3}, \frac{1}{3}\right) \equiv\left(\frac{5+1+1}{3}, \frac{1+q-2}{3}, \frac{p+p+3}{3}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow r=\frac{7}{3}, \frac{-4}{3}=\frac{q-1}{3}, \frac{1}{3}=\frac{2 p+3}{3} \\ & \Rightarrow p=-1, q=-3, r=\frac{7}{3}\end{aligned}$
