\fbox{$x_1$}=40 \fbox{$x_2$}=55 \fbox{$x_2$}=50
\sigma_1=\alpha \sigma_2=30-\alpha \sigma^2=350
n_1=100 n_2=n 100+n 

Now

\fbox{$X$}=\frac{100\times40+55n}{100+n}

Or, 5000+50n=4000+55n

Or, n=200

Now, {\sigma_1}^2=\frac{\sum{x_i}^2}{100}-{40}^2

Or, {\sigma_2}^2=\frac{\sum{x_j}^2}{100}-{55}^2

Or, 350=\sigma^2=\frac{\sum{x_i}^2+\sum{x_j}^2}{300}-\left(\fbox{$x$}\right)^2

2850\times3=\alpha^2+2\left(30-\alpha\right)^2+1600+6050

Or,\sigma^2+2\left(30-\sigma^2\right)+7650

Or , \sigma^2-40\sigma+300=0

Or, \sigma=1030

{\sigma_1}^2+{\sigma_2}^2={10}^2+{20}^2\ =500
