Correct answer: D

  1. Roots of the quadratic

The equation is x2−x−1=0.x^2-x-1=0.x2−x−1=0. Its roots are α,β\alpha,\betaα,β, so by Vieta: α+β=1,αβ=−1.\alpha+\beta=1,\qquad \alpha\beta=-1.α+β=1,αβ=−1. Also, since α≠β\alpha\ne\betaα=β and the discriminant is 555, we have α=1+52,β=1−52.\alpha=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2},\qquad \beta=\frac{1-\sqrt5}{2}.α=21+5​​,β=21−5​​.

  1. Given sequence

an=pαn+qβn,a_n=p\alpha^n+q\beta^n,an​=pαn+qβn, where p,qp,qp,q are integers.

We are given a4=28.a_4=28.a4​=28. So, pα4+qβ4=28.p\alpha^4+q\beta^4=28.pα4+qβ4=28.

  1. Compute α4\alpha^4α4 and β4\beta^4β4

Since α,β\alpha,\betaα,β satisfy x2=x+1x^2=x+1x2=x+1, we can reduce powers: x2=x+1.x^2=x+1.x2=x+1. Then x3=x(x2)=x(x+1)=x2+x=(x+1)+x=2x+1,x^3=x(x^2)=x(x+1)=x^2+x=(x+1)+x=2x+1,x3=x(x2)=x(x+1)=x2+x=(x+1)+x=2x+1, x4=x(2x+1)=2x2+x=2(x+1)+x=3x+2.x^4=x(2x+1)=2x^2+x=2(x+1)+x=3x+2.x4=x(2x+1)=2x2+x=2(x+1)+x=3x+2. Hence, α4=3α+2,β4=3β+2.\alpha^4=3\alpha+2,\qquad \beta^4=3\beta+2.α4=3α+2,β4=3β+2.

Therefore, a4=p(3α+2)+q(3β+2)=3(pα+qβ)+2(p+q).a_4=p(3\alpha+2)+q(3\beta+2)=3(p\alpha+q\beta)+2(p+q).a4​=p(3α+2)+q(3β+2)=3(pα+qβ)+2(p+q). But it is easier to substitute explicit values of α,β\alpha,\betaα,β.

  1. Write α4,β4\alpha^4,\beta^4α4,β4 explicitly

Using α=1+52,β=1−52,\alpha=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2},\qquad \beta=\frac{1-\sqrt5}{2},α=21+5​​,β=21−5​​, we get \alpha^4=3\alpha+2=3\cdot\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}+2= rac{7+3\sqrt5}{2}, \beta^4=3\beta+2=3\cdot\frac{1-\sqrt5}{2}+2= rac{7-3\sqrt5}{2}.

So a4=p7+352+q7−352=28.a_4=p\frac{7+3\sqrt5}{2}+q\frac{7-3\sqrt5}{2}=28.a4​=p27+35​​+q27−35​​=28. Multiply by 222: p(7+35)+q(7−35)=56.p(7+3\sqrt5)+q(7-3\sqrt5)=56.p(7+35​)+q(7−35​)=56. Expanding, 7(p+q)+3(p−q)5=56.7(p+q)+3(p-q)\sqrt5=56.7(p+q)+3(p−q)5​=56.

  1. Use the given fact

Since 565656 is rational, comparing rational and irrational parts, 3(p−q)=0  ⟹  p=q.3(p-q)=0\implies p=q.3(p−q)=0⟹p=q. And 7(p+q)=56  ⟹  p+q=8.7(p+q)=56\implies p+q=8.7(p+q)=56⟹p+q=8. Since p=qp=qp=q, we get p=q=4.p=q=4.p=q=4.

  1. Find p+2qp+2qp+2q

p+2q=4+2(4)=12.p+2q=4+2(4)=12.p+2q=4+2(4)=12.

Therefore, the correct option is 12.\boxed{12}.12​.
