The correct answer is: p=q

Given L1: x-2y+3=0

and 8x2-14xy+5y2=0  

To find separate equations 

x=14y±196y2-160y216

x=14y±6y16=7y±3y8

8x=10y & 8x=4y

L2: 4x=5y & L3: 2x=y

Now, intersection point of L2 & L3 is A0, 0

The intersection point of L1 & L3 is B1, 2

and L2 & L1 is C5, 4

Now, centroid of ABC is 

p=0+1+53=2, q=0+2+43=2

p=q
