12 Signals each band limited to 5kHz are to be transmitted by the frequency-division multiplexer. If an AM-SSB modulation guard band 1kHz is used then the bandwidth of the multiplexed signal is
(a) 101kHz

(c) 84kHz

Hint First of all we will calculate the total signal bandwidth and for this, we will have it by the product of the total number of signals and the band. And as we know there are 11 guard bands required between the 12 signals. So by using this we will calculate the total bandwidth.
Formula used:
Total signal bandwidth will be given by the formula,
BWTotal=Total Signals× Band
Here,
BWTotal, will be the total bandwidth.

Complete Step By Step Solution
So the total signal bandwidth will be given by
BWTotal=Total Signals× Band
Now, we will substitute the values, and we get
BWTotal=12×5
And after solving the equation, we will get
BWTotal=60Hz
Since the total of 11 the guard, the band are required between 12 signals
So thee guard bandwidth will be,
Guard bandwidth =11×1kHz
Therefore, on adding the above equation, we get
Guard bandwidth =11kHz
Now we will calculate the total bandwidth
So,
Total bandwidth =(60+11)1kHz
Therefore, on solving we get
Total bandwidth=711kHz
Therefore, 71kHzwill be the bandwidth of the multiplexed signal.

So, option D is correct.

Additional information DSBSC is AM without the transporter - so we're involving a transmission capacity twice that of the first sign, however without the transporter we can at this point don't utilize a basic demodulator/indicator. We'll have to either re-infuse a transporter (i.e., utilize a BFO/coordinated finder) or use envelope identification or comparable. The bit of leeway here is that we're presently putting the entirety of the transmitter power into the sidebands, and not squandering any on the transporter (which has no data content).

Note AM is both sidebands, every one of which involves a similar data transfer capacity as the first adjusting signal, and incorporates a full transporter. At 100% balance, we have completely 66% of the absolute force going into the transporter - and obviously, we don't average 100% balance. So AM is the easiest (both to create and demodulate), however takes up the greatest transmission capacity and is reasonably power wasteful, at any rate regarding putting the accessible force behind the genuine data you're attempting to communicate.
