Classical mechanics — canonical transformations and generating functions

A mechanical system is described using generalized position qq and generalized momentum pp. Let QQ and PP denote new generalized position and generalized momentum variables respectively, generated by the generating function F(q,P)=q2ePF(q,P)=q^2e^{P}, and Q,PQ,P are canonical coordinates. Let G(p,Q)G(p,Q) be a function such that G(2,e)=0G(2,e)=0, and it generates the same canonical coordinates Q,PQ,P. Then which of the following statements are true?
