Detailed explanation

Citric Acid
Structure :-

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.

In Young's double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 2 mm and the slits are 1 m away, from the screen. Two interference patterns can be obtained on the screen due to light of wavelength ' \(\lambda_1\) ' and ' \(\lambda_2\) ' respectively. The separation on the screen between the \(3^{\text {rd }}\) order bright fringes on the two interference patterns is ( \(\lambda_2=1 \cdot 5 \lambda_1\) )
