Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the roots of equation $px^2 + qx + r = 0$, $p \neq 0$. If $p$, $q$, $r$ are in A.P. and $\frac{1}{\alpha} + \frac{1}{\beta} = 4$, then the value of $|\alpha - \beta|$ is:
(1) $\frac{\sqrt{61}}{9}$
(2) $\frac{2\sqrt{17}}{9}$
(3) $\frac{\sqrt{34}}{9}$
(4) $\frac{2\sqrt{13}}{9}$
