In an amplitude modulation, a modulating signal having amplitude of X V is superimposed with a carrier signal of amplitude Y V in first case. Then, in second case, the same modulating signal is superimposed with different carrier signal of amplitude 2Y V. The ratio of modulation index in the two case respectively wil be :

The correct answer is: 2 : 1

Modulating index is stated as μ=AmAc, where, Am=amplitude of modulating signal and Ac=amplitude of carrier signal.

Now, for first case, μ1=XY

For second case, μ2=X2Y

Thus, the ratio of μ1μ2=XYX2Y=21μ1:μ2=2:1
