Rate from a mixed survival probability

The service times (in minutes) at two petrol pumps P1P_1 and P2P_2 follow distributions with probability density functions f1(x)=λe−λx,  x>0f_1(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x}, \; x > 0 and f2(x)=λ2xe−λx,  x>0f_2(x) = \lambda^2 x e^{-\lambda x}, \; x > 0, respectively, where λ>0\lambda > 0. For service, a customer chooses P1P_1 or P2P_2 randomly with equal probability. Suppose, the probability that the service time for the customer is more than one minute, is 2e−22e^{-2}. Then the value of λ\lambda equals __________ (answer in integer).
