Let $p, q, r \in \mathbb{R}$ and $r > p > 0.$ If the quadratic equation $px^2 + qx + r = 0$ has two complex roots $\alpha$ and $\beta,$ then $|\alpha| + |\beta|$ is:

$Quantity \, 1:$ Original duration of flight. In a flight of $3000 \, km$,an aircraft was slowed down by bad weather. Its average speed for the trip was reduced by $100 \, km/hr$ and the time increased by $1 \, hour$.
$Quantity \, 2:$ Usual time of a man who,when walking at $\frac{3}{4}$ of his usual pace,reaches his office $20 \, minutes$ late.

For the quadratic equation $2x^2 - (p + 1)x + (p - 1) = 0$,if $\alpha - \beta = \alpha \beta$,then what is the value of $p$?

Solve the given two equations and select the correct answer from the given options:
$I.$ $\sqrt{1225} x + \sqrt{4900} = 0$
$II.$ $(81)^{1/4} y + (343)^{1/3} = 0$

The value of $a (a \ge 3)$ for which the sum of the cubes of the roots of $x^2 - (a - 2)x + (a - 3) = 0$ assumes the least value is

If the roots of $x^2 - 7x + 6 = 0$ are $\alpha$ and $\beta$,then $\frac{1}{\alpha} + \frac{1}{\beta} = $
