Regarding this post, I'd like to make couple of notices.
1. First statement "one root of the equation x^2-px+20=0 is four" has no any relation and any connection with the rest of the post.
2. The valid value of " q " is not in the option list.
So, based on these notices, I conclude that the problem in the post is, strictly saying, D E F E C T I V E.
The answer to the problem question is q = .
But it is not relevant to the first cited statement.
