In a single slit diffraction experiment, position of minima is given by  dsinθ=nλ
So for first minima of red   sinθ=1×λRd
and as first maxima is midway between first and second minima, for wavelength λ',
its position will be 
sinθ'=3λ'2d
According to given condition  sinθ=sinθ'
 λ'=23λR

So λ'=23×660=440nm=4400Å
