    Two sources of sound $A$ and $B$ produces the wave of $350 Hz$, they vibrate in the same phase. The particle $P$ is vibrating under the influence of these two waves, if the amplitudes at the point $P$ produced by the two waves is $0.3 mm$ and $0.4 mm,$ then the resultant amplitude of the point $P$ will be when $AP -BP = 25 cm$ and the velocity of sound is $350 m/sec$  .... $mm$
