Consider Prime Ratios, Get Integers (Posted on 2023-02-04) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Find all possible triplet(s) (p, q, r) of prime numbers such that, each of:

(p2 + 2q)/(q + r), (q2 + 9r)/(r + p), and
(r2 + 3p)/(p + q)

is a positive integer.

Prove that no further triplet is possible in conformity with the given conditions.

Note: Adapted from a problem appearing in a shortlist of Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad.

*** Computer program assisted solutions are welcome, but a semi-analytic methodology, that is: hand calculator and p&p, is preferred.
