Statement-$1$: Two longitudinal waves given by equations $y_1(x, t) = 2a \sin(\omega t - kx)$ and $y_2(x, t) = a \sin(2\omega t - 2kx)$ will have equal intensity.
Statement-$2$: Intensity of waves of given frequency in the same medium is proportional to the square of amplitude only.

$A$ musical instrument $P$ produces sound waves of frequency $n$ and amplitude $A_P$. Another musical instrument $Q$ produces sound waves of frequency $\frac{n}{4}$. The waves produced by $P$ and $Q$ have equal energies. If the amplitude of waves produced by $P$ is $A_P$,the amplitude of waves produced by $Q$ will be: (in $A_P$)

Two waves represented by the following equations are travelling in the same medium: $y_1 = 5\sin 2\pi (75t - 0.25x)$ and $y_2 = 10\sin 2\pi (150t - 0.50x)$. The intensity ratio $I_1/I_2$ of the two waves is:
