Weird Question

First, the first "if" is not clear in the question, but i guess it is m not equal to zero as m is in the denominator . The other weird thing about the question is d. how can we eliminate d.

The OA is A which is m^2 / (1-m)

Any help guys??

cross multiplication

So m^2 = d - p

and P is in terms value of M

So m^2 = d - m

Don't know if my explanation is good :$

A and B are the same btw?

Man. No, you didn't get it right.

p in terms of m doesn't mean that p=m

second, m^2 = d+ pm and not m^2= d-p

This question is really not right at all. And the thing that A and B are the same add to this weird thing. I dont know if anyone can come up with an answer.
