Detailed Solution

$\begin{array}{l} S_{11} = \frac{11}{2} (2 a + 10 d) = 88 \\ a + 5 d = 8 \\ a = 8 - 5 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \end{array}$
Roots are
$\begin{array}{l} T_{10} = a + 9 d = \frac{1}{2} + 9 \times \frac{3}{2} = 14 \\ T_{11} = a + 10 d = \frac{1}{2} + 10 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{31}{2} \\ \frac{p}{3} = T_{10} + T_{11} = 14 + \frac{31}{2} = \frac{59}{2} \\ p = \frac{177}{2} \\ \frac{q}{3} = T_{10} \times T_{11} = 7 \times 31 = 217 \\ q = 651 \end{array}$
$\begin{array}{l} q - 2 p \\ = 651 - 177 \\ = 474 \end{array}$
