my answer is q,s,r

q=3 (sq rt 3)
r=1+(2 sq rt 3)
s=3 + (sq rt 3)

Assume sq rt 3 = a

therefore q=3a, r=1+2a and S= 3+a

substitute any positive integer in place of a ( i assumed a to be 1)

hence its q,s,r.

Ps: if u wanna try in the more traditional way.. one has to know that the sq toot of 3 is 1.732
