In two separate set-ups of the Young’s double slit experiment, fringes of equal width are observed when lights of wavelengths in the ratio 1:2 are used. If the ratio of the slit separation in the two cases is 2 : 1, the ratio of the distances between the plane of the slits and the screen in the two set-ups is
a)	4 : 1	b)	1 : 1	c)	1 : 4	d)	2 : 1
