As we learnt in 

Condition for Real and distinct roots of Quadratic Equation -

D= b^{2}-4ac> 0

- wherein

ax^{2}+bx+c= 0

is the quadratic equation

 

 \\( p-q) \right )x^{2}-5\left ( p+q \right )x-2\left ( p-q \right )=0\ \\\\\*\left\[ 5\left ( p+q \right ) \right ]^{2}-4\times \left ( -2 \right )\left ( p-q \right )^{2}\\*\\=25\left ( p+q \right )^{2}+8\left ( p-q \right )^{2}> 0
