$B$-Two coherent sources emit waves of the same frequency with a constant phase difference.
Choose the correct option from the following.

Two beams of light having intensities $I$ and $4I$ interfere to produce fringes on a screen. The phase difference between the beams at point $A$ is $\pi/2$ and at point $B$ is $2\pi$. Find the resultant intensities at points $A$ and $B$.

Two coherent sources of different intensities send waves which interfere. The ratio of maximum intensity to the minimum intensity is $25$. The intensities of the sources are in the ratio:

Two beams of light having intensities $I$ and $4I$ interfere to produce a fringe pattern on a screen. The phase difference between the two beams are $\pi/2$ and $\pi/3$ at points $A$ and $B$ respectively. The difference between the resultant intensities at the two points is $xI$. The value of $x$ will be.
