Answer:

2 cm and 6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum displacement of first square wave pulse is 4 cm and the maximum displacement of second square wave pulse is 2 cm. We need to find a possible displacement of the string when the wave pules overlap.

It could be result in constructive interference or destructive interference.The possible displacement of the string are :

4 cm - 2 cm = 2 cm

4 cm + 2 cm = 6 cm

Hence, the correct options are (A) and (C).
