Detailed Solution

p1 + p2 = p                                                                     …(i)

Question Image

Further,        K1 + K2=K

or        p122m+p224m=p22m or  2p12 + p22 = 2p2                …(ii)

Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

          p2=43p            and    p1=-p3, K1=K9 and K2=8K9

Hence, Ar, Bp, Cq, Ds.
