The correct option is C 5 kHz
For the given multi- tone signal, the side- band components exits at, fc+mf1,fc+nf2,fc+(mf1+nf2)
where m and n are integres vary from −∞ to +∞.
Given that, fc=1000 kHz, f1=15 kHz and f2=10kHz
fc+mf1⇒1010 kHz,1030 kHz, 1045 kHz.....
⇒985 kHz,970 kHz, 955 kHz.....
fc+mf1⇒1010 kHz,1020 kHz, 1030 kHz,...
⇒990 kHz,980 kHz, 970 kHz.....
fc+nf2→1005 kHz, 1020 kHz, 1025 kHz, 1035 kHz 1040 kHz,....
995 kHz, 980 kHz., 975 kHz, 965 kHz, 960 kHz, ....
If we plot all these components on a single axis, we get frequency components such that the adjecent sideband frequencies are separated by 5 kHz.
