Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the roots of the equation $px^2 + qx - r = 0$, where $p \neq 0$. If $p, q$ and $r$ be the consecutive terms of a non-constant G.P and $\frac{1}{\alpha} + \frac{1}{\beta} = \frac{3}{4}$, then the value of $\alpha - \beta^2$ is:
(1) $\frac{80}{9}$
(2) 9
(3) $\frac{20}{3}$
(4) 8
