In Youngs double slit experiment the separation d between the slits is 2 mm, the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light used is 5896 Å and distance D between the screen and slits is 100 cm. It is found that the angular width of the fringes is 0.20°. To increase the fringe angular width to 0.21° (with same $\lambda$ and D) the separation between the slits needs to be changed to

2.1 mm
1.9 mm
1.8 mm
1.7 mm
Explanation:

Angular width = $\dfrac{\lambda}{d}$
0.20° = $\dfrac{\lambda}{2mm} \cdot\cdot\cdot\left(i\right)$
0.21° = $\dfrac{\lambda}{d} \cdot\cdot\cdot\left(ii\right)$
Dividing we get, $\dfrac{0.20}{0.21}= \dfrac{d}{2mm}$
$\therefore$ d = 1.9 mm
