Hi,

How did the correct answer get arrived at? Think of this - if the total power in both AM sidebands is X watts, then the power in either the upper or lower sideband is __ % of the total.

Pt=Pc(1+m^2/2) is the correct formula for this so u'll need to substitute in this and you get the answer,understood if this is wrong formula then let me know the correct one.
thank you
