a

If d=λ, the screen will contain one maximum

b

If λ<d<2λ, at least one more maximum (besides the central maximum) will be observed on the screen

c

if the intensity of light falling on slit 1 is reduced so that it becomes equal to that of slit 2, the intensities of the observed minima will decrease

d

If the intensity of light falling off on slit 2 in increased so that it becomes equal to that of slit, the intensities of the observed minima will decrease

answer is A, B, C, D.

Detailed Solution

(A) the maximum path difference will be less than λ for d=λ Thus, only maximum will be observed
(B) for λ<d<2λ maximum path difference will be less than 2λ thus, 3 maximum will be observed
(C) Initially I1=4I0 and I2=I0
So,  Imax=9I0;Imin=I0
I=I1+I2+2I1I2cos(Δϕ)
For maximum intensity  cos(Δϕ)=1
Minimum intensity  cos(Δϕ)=1
I1=I0 and I2=I0 (given) 
Thus, Imax=4I0 and Imin=0 (decreases)
So, 
(d) I1=4I0 and I2=4I0  (given)
So, Imax=16I0 and Imin=0
