Detailed Solution

let the nth bright fringe of wavelength λm and m th Bright fringe of wavelength λm coincide at a distance x n from central maximum .then 
xn=nD2d=mD2d or mn=λnλm=650nm520nm=54 So, least integral values of m and n satisfying above requhemeDt are m = 5andn= 4 Smallest value of xn, is given by  xnmin=nDd=4×650×109×1.202×103 = 1.56 mm
