Correct answer: C

Given, The ratio of slits width = 125{1 \over {25}}251​

∴\therefore∴ I1I2=251{{{I_1}} \over {{I_2}}} = {{25} \over 1}I2​I1​​=125​

I ∝\propto∝ A2

⇒\Rightarrow⇒ I1I2=A12A22{{{I_1}} \over {{I_2}}} = {{A_1^2} \over {A_2^2}}I2​I1​​=A22​A12​​ = 251{{25} \over 1}125​

⇒\Rightarrow⇒ A1A2=51{{{A_1}} \over {{A_2}}} = {5 \over 1}A2​A1​​=15​

Amax⁡Amin⁡=A1+A2A1−A2{{{A_{\max }}} \over {{A_{\min }}}} = {{{A_1} + {A_2}} \over {{A_1} - {A_2}}}Amin​Amax​​=A1​−A2​A1​+A2​​ = 5+15−1{{5 + 1} \over {5 - 1}}5−15+1​ = 64{6 \over 4}46​ = 32{3 \over 2}23​

∴\therefore∴ Imax⁡Imin⁡=Amax⁡2Amin⁡2{{{I_{\max }}} \over {{I_{\min }}}} = {{A_{\max }^2} \over {A_{\min }^2}}Imin​Imax​​=Amin2​Amax2​​ = (32)2{\left( {{3 \over 2}} \right)^2}(23​)2 = 94{9 \over 4}49​
