Interpret the second process as an independent copy of the unit-rate Poisson process. First, the sums are finite almost surely. On $[0,1]$ there are finitely many arrivals, none at $0$, so their inverse-square contributions are finite. On $[1,\infty )$,For completeness, this expectation identity follows first for nonnegative simple functions from $\mathbb{E}N(A)=|A|$, and then for all nonnegative measurable functions by monotone convergence. Thus no unproved Poisson-integral formula is needed, and the tail sum is finite almost surely.

By (b), merging the two processes produces a rate-$2$ Poisson process with arrival times $V_i$. Its rescaled arrivals $2V_i$ form a unit-rate Poisson process: for a measurable set $A$, their count is the merged count on $A/2$, with parameter $2|A/2|=|A|$, and disjoint-set independence is preserved. ConsequentlyTherefore $\boxed{c=4}$. This is the scaling of an inverse-power sum over Poisson arrivals with exponent $2$.

The PDF does not explicitly repeat the second process's rate. If that rate were $\rho$ rather than $1$, the same count argument would give $X+Y\stackrel{d}{=}(1+\rho {)}^{2}X$. The numerical value $4$ uses the intended independent-unit-rate-copy interpretation.
