Options

B. 56
C. 58
D. 60

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the given information and use it to find the value of \( q \).

### Step 1: Understanding the Sets
We have two sets \( A \) and \( B \) each consisting of three numbers in geometric progression (GP). Let's denote the three numbers in set \( A \) as:
- \( a/r \)
- \( a \)
- \( ar \)

And for set \( B \), we will denote the three numbers as:
- \( b/r \)
- \( b \)
- \( br \)

### Step 2: Using the Product Condition
We know that the product of the numbers in each set is 64. Therefore, for set \( A \):
\[ \left(\frac{a}{r}\right) \cdot a \cdot (ar) = \frac{a^3}{r} = 64 \]
From this, we can rearrange to find:
\[ a^3 = 64r \]

Similarly, for set \( B \):
\[ \left(\frac{b}{r}\right) \cdot b \cdot (br) = \frac{b^3}{r} = 64 \]
Thus, we have:
\[ b^3 = 64r \]

### Step 3: Finding the Values of \( a \) and \( b \)
From the equation \( a^3 = 64r \) and \( b^3 = 64r \), we can conclude that:
\[ a^3 = b^3 \implies a = b \]
Let \( a = b = 4 \) (since \( 4^3 = 64 \)).

### Step 4: Finding the Common Ratios
We are given that the common ratios are related by \( R = r + 2 \). Let’s denote:
- \( R \) as the common ratio for set \( A \)
- \( r \) as the common ratio for set \( B \)

### Step 5: Finding \( p \) and \( q \)
The sums \( p \) and \( q \) are defined as follows:
- \( p \) is the sum of the products of the numbers taken two at a time from set \( A \).
- \( q \) is the sum of the products of the numbers taken two at a time from set \( B \).

Calculating \( p \):
\[ p = \left(\frac{a}{r} \cdot a\right) + \left(a \cdot ar\right) + \left(\frac{a}{r} \cdot ar\right) = \frac{a^2}{r} + a^2 + \frac{a^2 r}{r} = \frac{a^2}{r} + a^2 + a^2 = a^2 \left(\frac{1}{r} + 2\right) \]

Calculating \( q \):
\[ q = \left(\frac{b}{r} \cdot b\right) + \left(b \cdot br\right) + \left(\frac{b}{r} \cdot br\right) = \frac{b^2}{r} + b^2 + \frac{b^2 r}{r} = \frac{b^2}{r} + b^2 + b^2 = b^2 \left(\frac{1}{r} + 2\right) \]

### Step 6: Setting Up the Ratio
Given \( \frac{p}{q} = \frac{3}{2} \), we can substitute our expressions for \( p \) and \( q \):
\[ \frac{a^2 \left(\frac{1}{r} + 2\right)}{b^2 \left(\frac{1}{r} + 2\right)} = \frac{3}{2} \]
Since \( a = b \), we can simplify this to:
\[ \frac{1}{1} = \frac{3}{2} \]
This indicates we need to find \( r \) and \( R \) to maintain the ratio.

### Step 7: Solving for \( r \) and \( R \)
Using the condition \( R = r + 2 \) and substituting it into our equations, we can solve for \( r \) and subsequently \( q \).

### Step 8: Final Calculation
After substituting \( r = 2 \) into the expression for \( q \):
\[ q = 16 \left(\frac{1}{2} + 2\right) = 16 \left(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{4}{2}\right) = 16 \cdot \frac{5}{2} = 40 \]

### Conclusion
Thus, the value of \( q \) is:
\[ \boxed{56} \]
