Detailed Solution

Let α be a common root of the given equations. Then, 

   α3+5α2+pα+q=0 and α3+7α2+pα+r=0

 2α2+qr=0

  Common roots are roots of the equation 2x2+qr=0.

Clearly, sum of the common roots is zero. 

Let β and γ be the third roots of first and second equations respectively. Then,

β=5,γ=7   [Sum of the roots in two equations is zero]

βγ=35.
