    Two waves are propagating to the point $P$ along a straight line produced by two sources $A$ and $B$ of simple harmonic and of equal frequency. The amplitude of every wave at $P$ is $‘a’$ and the phase of $A$ is ahead by $\frac{\pi }{3}$ than that of $B$ and the distance $AP$ is greater than $BP$ by $50 cm.$ Then the resultant amplitude at the point $P$ will be, if the wavelength is $1$ meter
