The equilibrium constant for the following reactions are given at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
\(\begin{array}{l}
2 \mathrm{~A} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{B}+\mathrm{C}, \mathrm{K}_{1}=1.0 \\
2 \mathrm{~B} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{C}+\mathrm{D}, \mathrm{K}_{2}=16 \\
2 \mathrm{C}+\mathrm{D} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{P}, \mathrm{K}_{3}=25
\end{array}\)
The equilibrium constant for the reaction \(\mathrm{P} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{A}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~B}\) at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{20}\)
  2. B 20
  3. C \(\frac{1}{42}\)
  4. D 21
