Detailed Solution

Let  pth bright fringe of first wavelength coincides with  qth bright fringe of second wavelength
we know,
path difference = Δx=nλ
Now, path difference for first wavelength  =pλ1  ----------- (1)
path difference for second wavelength =qλ2 -------------- (2)
from (1) & (2)

  pλ1=qλ2 pq=λ2λ1=60004500=43

So,  p=4 of first wavelength coincides with q=3  of second wavelength.
