If highest common factor of $$x^{2}-px-q$$ and $$5x^{2}-3px-15q$$ is (x - 3), then value of (p , q) will be :
$$(x-3)$$ is a factor of $$x^{2}-px-q$$ and $$5x^{2}-3px-15q$$, thus, at x = 3, the value of polynomial will be equal to 0. Therefore,
$$3p+q=9$$ and $$9p+15q=45$$
Solving the above equations, we will get $$p=\dfrac{5}{2}\ and\ q=\dfrac{3}{2}$$
