Let D be distance between slit and the screen.
Let d be distances between the two slits.
 
Wavelength of the first wavelength = 2.5 *10-7 m
Bright fringes for the first wavelength = n(2.5 *10-7 D/d)
 
Wavelength of the second wavelength =  3.5 *10-7 m
Bright finges for the second wavelength = m(3.5 *10-7 D/d)
 
For the two fringes coincides to coincides,
m(3.5 *10-7 D/d) = n(2.5 *10-7 D/d)
\implies    7m = 5n
\implies     m/n = 5/7
 
\implies So, the 5th bright fringe of second wavelength coincide with 7th bright fringe of first wavelength
