Mean first passage time of a periodically driven particle for its escape over a fluctuating barrier with wells remaining unbiased exhibits a resonance when the frequency of the driving field is varied. This parametric variant of resonant activation and associated features of noise induced transition are realized in terms of a two-state model to estimate analytically several quantifiers of the escape event. Numerical simulation on a continuous double-well model collaborates our theoretical analysis.
