A simply supported beam of length L is loaded by two symmetrically applied point loads P at \( L/3 \) from each support. Both the loads are then shifted to new points which are at a distance \( L/4 \) from each support. The bending moments at the mid-section of the beam in both the cases are same. The magnitude of \( P_1 \) in terms of P is:
