Correct Option - 3

Detailed Solution:

According to question, we can write

$d = \sqrt[]{2 h R} \Rightarrow \frac{d_{2}}{d_{1}} = \sqrt[]{\frac{h_{2}}{h_{1}}} \Rightarrow h_{2} = {(\frac{d_{2}}{d_{1}})}^{2} h_{1} = {(\frac{2}{1})}^{2} * 125 = 500 m$

Increment in height of tower = h₂ – h₁ = 500 – 125 = 375 m

Kindly consider the following figure

The amplitude of upper and lower side bands of A.M. wave where a carrier signal with frequency 11.21 MHz, peak voltage 15 V is amplitude modulate by a 7.7 kHz sine wave of 5 V amplitude are (a/10) V and ( b/10 ) V respectively. Then the value of a/b is _______.

Vishal Baghel

Amplitude of sidebands = µAc/2
Here µ = Am/Ac = 5/15 = 1/3
Amplitude = (1/3) (15)/2 = 2.5 V
a/10 = 2.5 => a = 25
b/10 = 2.5 => b = 25
a/b = 1
