Detailed Solution

Position of minima in diffraction pattern is given by;  dsinθ=nλ
For first minima of  λ1, we have 
dsinθ1=(1)λ1  or   sinθ1=λ1d   ….. (i)   T h e
First maxima approximately lies between first and second maxima. For wavelength λ2  its position will be. 
dsinθ2=32λ2    sinθ2=3λ22d...(ii)

The two will coincide if,    

θ1=θ2orsinθ1=sinθ2     λ1d=3λ22d  or

λ2=23λ1=23×660nm=440nm
