Detailed Solution

Given that, in YDSE , if the sources are incoherent , the intensity on the screen is  13I0
When these sources are coherent, the minimum intensity on the screen is  Io. if the maximum intensity produced by these coherent sources on the screen is  nI0, we have to find n 
For incoherent sources ,we just add the interfering intensities to get the resultant intensity.
So,  I1+I2=13I0..........(i)
Also, for coherent sources, the minimum intensity is  
(I1I2)2=I0 I1+I22I1I2=I0
 13I02I1I2=I0  (from(i))
2I1I2=12I0.........(ii)
For coherent sources, the maximum intensity is  Imax=I1+I2+2I1I2
Imax=13I0+12I0=25I0  from (i) and (ii) )
