\mathrm{I_{\text {resultant }}=I_1+I_2+2 \sqrt{I_1} \sqrt{I_2} \cos \phi}

At point \mathrm{A,}

\mathrm{I_A=4 I+9 I+2 \sqrt{4 I} \sqrt{9 I} \cos 0^{\circ}}

\mathrm{I_A=25 \mathrm{I}}

At point \mathrm{B}

\mathrm{I_B=4 I+9 I+2 \sqrt{4 I} \sqrt{9 I} \cos \pi}

\mathrm{I_B=I}

The difference of resultant intensities at \mathrm{A\: \& \: B \, is\: \: I_A-I_B=24 I}
