Your challenge is not exciting enough! We need to see some work at a solution attempt!
 
We're not here to do your homework.
 
Any one can solve this prob?this is not a homework!

Ah! There's your problem! This is a homework forum :smile:
 
But it is a homework-type problem, and as such, it requires the poster to put in some effort.
