With these results, we not only obtain sharp bounds for the ratio of hypergeometric functions which extend recently discovered inequalities for k-balanced hypergeometric functions, and but also give an affirmative answer to an open problem proposed by Qiu and Vuorinen. In addition, as by-products, some monotonicity theorems for complete p-elliptic integrals and inequalities for generalized Grötzsch ring function are established UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/s13226-022-00325-7 ER -
