Answer
$\lambda_1=4 \times 10^{-7} m \lambda_2=6 \times 10^{-7} m$
Distance at which dark fringe is observed $x=\left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right) \frac{\lambda D}{d}$
First Dark fringe for $\lambda_1 d_1=\frac{1}{2} \frac{4 \times 10^{-7}}{10^{-2}} m=2 \times 10^{-5} m$
First Dark fringe for $\lambda_2 d_2=\frac{1}{2} \frac{6 \times 10^{-7}}{10^{-2}} m=3 \times 10^{-5} m$
First dark fringe will be the distance where both dark fringes will coincide i.e $\text{LCM}$ of $d_1 \ d_1$i.e.
$ 2 \times 10^{-5} m \times 3 \times 10^{-5} m$
$\quad=6 \times 10^{-5} m$
