For a>0,a>0,a>0, let the curves C1:y2=ax{C}_{1}:{y}^{2}=axC1​:y2=ax and C2:x2=ay{C}_{2}:{x}^{2}=ayC2​:x2=ay intersect at origin OOO and a point P.P.P. Let the line x=b(0<b<a)x=b(0<b<a)x=b(0<b<a) intersect the chord OPOPOP and the xxx -axis at points QQQ and R,R,R, respectively. If the line x=bx=bx=b bisects the area bounded by the curves, C1{C}_{1}C1​ and C2,{C}_{2},C2​, and the area of ΔOQR=12,\Delta OQR=\frac{1}{2},ΔOQR=21​, then ‘ aaa ’ satisfies the equation:
