For $a > 0$,if the function $f(x) = 2x^3 - 9ax^2 + 12a^2x + 1$ attains its maximum value at $p$ and minimum value at $q$ such that $p^2 = q$,then $a =$

Let $f(x) = \frac{\sin \pi x}{x^2}, x > 0$. Let $x_1 < x_2 < x_3 < \ldots < x_n < \ldots$ be all the points of local maximum of $f(x)$ and $y_1 < y_2 < y_3 < \ldots < y_n < \ldots$ be all the points of local minimum of $f(x)$. Which of the following statements are true?
$(1)$ $|x_n - y_n| > 1$ for every $n$
$(2)$ $x_1 < y_1$
$(3)$ $x_n \in (2n, 2n + \frac{1}{2})$ for every $n$
$(4)$ $x_{n+1} - x_n > 2$ for every $n$
