Abstract
The two body nonleptonic decays are analyzed in the factorization approximation, using the quark model, treating as a free parameter. It is shown that the experimental branching ratio for restricts and this ratio can be understood for a value of which lies in the range suggested by two body meson decays. The branching ratios for are predicted to be larger than the previous estimates. Finally it is pointed that the CKM-Wolfenstein parameter , where is the phase, can be determined from the ratio of widths of and or that of and independent of the parameter .
