What do $Z_{AB}$ and $P$ indicate in the context of collision theory?

For two reactions,the values of the pre-exponential factor are the same. However,the difference between their activation energy values is $24.9 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$. The ratio of their rate constants at $300 \, K$ is ....

For reaction $A \to B$,rate constant $K_1 = A_1 e^{-E_{a_1}/RT}$ and for the reaction $X \to Y$,rate constant $K_2 = A_2 e^{-E_{a_2}/RT}$. If $A_1 = 10^8, A_2 = 10^{10}$ and $E_{a_1} = 600 \ cal \ mol^{-1}$,$E_{a_2} = 1800 \ cal \ mol^{-1}$,then the temperature at which $K_1 = K_2$ is (given: $R = 2 \ cal \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$):

For the reaction $A_2 + B_2 \rightleftharpoons 2 AB$,the activation energies $(E_a)$ for the forward and backward reactions are $180 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $200 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ respectively. If a catalyst lowers the $E_a$ for both reactions by $100 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,which of the following statements is correct?
