    Step-by-step explanation:

    In the given triangle MNP, the medians are straight lines drawn from the angle to opposite side so as to divide the side into equal parts.

    PS = 8 and QS = 3, thus;

    PS = NS = 8 (congruent property of ΔRSN and ΔQSP)

    QS = SP = 3 (congruence property)

    So that,

    NQ = NS + SQ

    = 8 + 3

    = 11

    PR = PS + SR

    = 8 + 3

    = 11

    Thus;

    NQ + PR = 11 + 11

    = 22

    Therefore, NQ + PR = 22
