Interference of Light

Q- Light of wavelength λ = 450 nm illuminates two slits. Slit A has a larger opening than slit B. The center of slit A is at y = 0, and the center of slit B is at y = d = 0.1 cm. The screen is L = 1 m away from the plane of the slits. When slit A is open and slit B is closed, the light intensity on the screen is IA = 19 W/m2. When slit B is open and slit A is closed, the light intensity on the screen is IB = 9 W/m2. When both slits are open, ignoring diffraction, what is the ratio between the minimum and maximum intensities on the screen, Imin and Imax
