If every pair of the equations $x^2 + px + qr = 0$,$x^2 + qx + rp = 0$,and $x^2 + rx + pq = 0$ have a common root,then the sum of the three common roots is:

  • A
    $\frac{-(p + q + r)}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{-p + q + r}{2}$
  • C
    $-(p + q + r)$
  • D
    $-p + q + r$

Statement-$I$: If $a, b, c \in R$ and the equations $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ and $x^2 + 3x + 4 = 0$ have a common root,then $\frac{a+c}{b} = \frac{4}{3}$.
Statement-$II$: If $a_1x^2 + b_1x + c_1 = 0$ and $a_2x^2 + b_2x + c_2 = 0$ have both roots common,then $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{c_1}{c_2}$,where $a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2, c_1, c_2 \in R$.
