Assertion: The distance between two coherent sources S1S_1 and S2S_2 is 4λ4\lambda. A large circle is drawn around these sources, with its centre at the midpoint of S1S2S_1S_2. There are a total of 1616 maxima on this circle. Reason: The total number of minima on this circle is less than the total number of maxima.
