Light waves producing interference have their amplitudes in the ratio $3: 2$. The intensity ratio of maximum and minimum of interference fringes is

Four monochromatic and coherent sources of light,emitting waves in phase of wavelength $\lambda$,are placed at the points $x = 0, d, 2d$,and $3d$ on the $x$-axis. The intensity of the waves reaching a point $P$ far away on the $+x$ axis from each of the four sources is almost the same,and equal to $I_0$. Then,

Consider the following statements about interference of light.
$A$-When crest of one wave coincides with crest of another wave at a point,this point is a point of destructive interference.
$B$-Two coherent sources emit waves of the same frequency with a constant phase difference.
