PM:MQ = 8:3.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\rm \angle B\hat{M}P + 90^{\circ} + \angle C\hat{M}Q = 180^{\circ}$ ;

$\implies \rm \angle B\hat{M}P + \angle C\hat{M}Q = 90^{\circ}$ ;

$\implies \rm 90^{\circ} - \angle B\hat{M}P = \angle C\hat{M}Q$ .

Also,

$\rm \angle B\hat{P}M = 90^{\circ} - \angle B\hat{M}P$ in right triangle PBM.

Thus $\rm \angle{P\hat{B}M} = \angle C\hat{M}Q$ .

Additionally $\rm \angle \hat{B} = 90^{\circ} = \angle \hat{C}$ .

Therefore $\rm \triangle PBM \sim \triangle MCQ$ .

$\rm \displaystyle BC = 2\;MC$ for M is the midpoint of segment BC.

$\rm \displaystyle PB = \frac{4}{3}BC = \frac{8}{3}MC$ .

$\rm \triangle PBM \sim \triangle MCQ$ implies that

$\displaystyle \rm PM:MQ = PB:MC = 1:\frac{8}{3} = 8:3$ .
