Hope it helps!! Mark this answer as brainliest if u found it useful..
Step-by-step explanation:
As `4` is a root of x^2+px+12 = 0,
∴ x = 4 should satisfy the equation.
=>4^2+4p+12 = 0
=>4p = -28
=>p = -7
Now, x^2+px+q has equal roots,
∴ D =0
=> p^2 - 4q = 0
=> (-7)^2 - 4q = 0
=> 4q = 49
=> q = 49/4
