Solution

The correct option is B $2 \leq m < 4$

Coordinate of midpoint
$R = (- \frac{3}{5}, - \frac{3}{5} m + 1) (S l o p e)_{P Q} \times (S l o p e)_{C R} = - 1 \Rightarrow m \times \frac{- \frac{3}{5} m + 1 + 2}{- \frac{3}{5} - 3} = - 1 \Rightarrow m \times \frac{m - 5}{6} = - 1 \Rightarrow m^{2} - 5 m + 6 = 0 \Rightarrow (m - 2) (m - 3) = 0 \Rightarrow m = 2, 3 ∴ 2 \leq m < 4$
