both are correct but 2n-1 is preferably used

 

in the formula 2n-1  n is the position of dark fringe

 

while  for 2n+1 position of fringe is n+1

example n=0 => 2X(0) +1 =1 [1ST DARK FRINGE]

Dear Vijesh

Both the formulae are correct, on putting n as sum integer we get two successive dark fringes by those 2 formulae
