Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect Path difference at a point of superposition on the screen at a distance 'y' from the central maxima in YDSE is given by ydD.
Thus y can be any large to form any order of bright or dark fringe. Apparently from the expression of path difference, it can be more than d for large values of y.
