(C) Given that $a, b$ are roots of $x^2 - 3x + p = 0$,we have $a + b = 3$ and $ab = p$.Given that $c, d$ are roots of $x^2 - 12x + q = 0$,we have $c + d = 12$ and $cd = q$.Since $a, b, c, d$ are in an increasing $G$.$P$.,let the terms be $a, ar, ar^2, ar^3$.Then $a + b = a(1 + r) = 3$ and $c + d = ar^2(1 + r) = 12$.Dividing the two equations: $\frac{ar^2(1 + r)}{a(1 + r)} = \frac{12}{3} \Rightarrow r^2 = 4$. Since the $G$.$P$. is increasing,$r = 2$.Substituting $r = 2$ into $a(1 + 2) = 3$,we get $3a = 3$,so $a = 1$.The terms are $1, 2, 4, 8$.Thus,$p = ab = 1 	imes 2 = 2$ and $q = cd = 4 	imes 8 = 32$.The ratio $(q + p) : (q - p) = (32 + 2) : (32 - 2) = 34 : 30 = 17 : 15$.

Let $a$ and $b$ be roots of $x^2 - 3x + p = 0$ and let $c$ and $d$ be the roots of $x^2 - 12x + q = 0$,where $a, b, c, d$ form an increasing $G$.$P$. Then the ratio of $(q + p) : (q - p)$ is equal to
