The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( x \) given the amplitudes of the carrier wave and the message signal in an amplitude modulation scenario. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Amplitude of the carrier wave, \( A_c = 250 \, \text{mV} \) - Amplitude of the message signal, \( A_m = 150 \, \text{mV} \) 2. **Calculate the maximum amplitude \( A_{max} \)**: \[ A_{max} = A_c + A_m = 250 \, \text{mV} + 150 \, \text{mV} = 400 \, \text{mV} \] 3. **Calculate the minimum amplitude \( A_{min} \)**: \[ A_{min} = A_c - A_m = 250 \, \text{mV} - 150 \, \text{mV} = 100 \, \text{mV} \] 4. **Calculate the ratio \( \frac{A_{max}}{A_{min}} \)**: \[ \frac{A_{max}}{A_{min}} = \frac{400 \, \text{mV}}{100 \, \text{mV}} = 4 \] 5. **Set up the equation based on the problem statement**: According to the problem, we have: \[ \frac{A_{max}}{A_{min}} = \frac{x}{50} \] Substituting the value we found: \[ 4 = \frac{x}{50} \] 6. **Solve for \( x \)**: To find \( x \), multiply both sides of the equation by 50: \[ x = 4 \times 50 = 200 \] ### Final Answer: \[ x = 200 \]
