In the figure below,$P$ and $Q$ are two equally intense coherent sources emitting radiation of wavelength $20\, m$. The separation between $P$ and $Q$ is $5\, m$ and the phase of $P$ is ahead of that of $Q$ by $90^{\circ}$. $A, B$ and $C$ are three distinct points of observation,each equidistant from the midpoint of $PQ$. The intensities of radiation at $A, B, C$ will be in the ratio
