Two-body weak decays / and are examined using isospin analysis to study nonfactorizable contributions. After determining the strong interaction phases and obtaining the factorizable contributions from the spectator-quark diagrams for Nc=3, we determine nonfactorizable isospin amplitudes from the experimental data for these modes. Our results support the universality of ratio of nonfactorizable isospin reduced amplitudes for these decays within experimental errors. In order to show that this systematics is not coincidental, we also plot our results w. r. t. this ratio.
