The phenomena arising due to the superposition of waves is/are

If the phase difference between the two wave is 2 pi during superposition, then the resultant amplitude is

Assertion: Three waves of equal amplitudes interfere at a point. Phase difference between two successive waves is pi/2 . Then, resultant intensity is same as the intensity due to individual wave. Reason: Two different light sources are never coherent.
