If $A$ and $B$ are independent events and $P(A) = p, P(B) = 2p$,and $P(\text{exactly one from } A \text{ and } B) = \frac{5}{9}$,then find the value of $p$.

  • A
    $\frac{1}{12}, \frac{5}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3}, \frac{5}{12}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{15}, \frac{5}{12}$
