Which of the following statements is incorrect?

The velocity of a particle $A$ is $3$ times the velocity of a proton. If the ratio of the de Broglie wavelengths of the particle $A$ and the proton is $3:2$,the mass of the particle $A$ is (where $m_{p}$ is the mass of the proton).

The potential energy of a particle of mass $m$ is given by $U(x) = \begin{cases} E_0, & 0 \le x \le 1 \\ 0, & x > 1 \end{cases}$. Let $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ be the de-Broglie wavelengths of the particle when $0 \le x \le 1$ and $x > 1$ respectively. If the total energy of the particle is $2E_0$,find $(\lambda_1/\lambda_2)^2$.
