(B) The intensity of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude,$I \propto a^2$,so $I = ka^2$. Let $I_1 = ka_1^2$ and $I_2 = ka_2^2$.The maximum intensity during interference is given by $I_{\max} = k(a_1 + a_2)^2 = k(a_1^2 + a_2^2 + 2a_1a_2)$.The minimum intensity during interference is given by $I_{\min} = k(a_1 - a_2)^2 = k(a_1^2 + a_2^2 - 2a_1a_2)$.The sum of the maximum and minimum intensities is $I_{\max} + I_{\min} = k(a_1^2 + a_2^2 + 2a_1a_2) + k(a_1^2 + a_2^2 - 2a_1a_2)$.$I_{\max} + I_{\min} = k(2a_1^2 + 2a_2^2) = 2(ka_1^2 + ka_2^2)$.Substituting the intensities back,we get $I_{\max} + I_{\min} = 2(I_1 + I_2)$.
