dsinθ = mλ (for bright fringe)
sinθ = mλ/d    
I = Io(Sinβ/β)^2    where, β=α/2= 2pi x δ/2λ
β = pi *delta / lamda       (delta= Asinθ)
β = pi *asinθ / lamda      (sinθ= m*lamda/d)
β = pi *a*m*lamda / d*lamda  = pi*a*m / d  (m=4)
β = 4*pi*a / d 
( for intensity = 0 at m=4, β should be an integral multiple of pi)
where, 
d= separation of slits ; a= slit width 
Therefore, 
pi= 4*pi*a/d
d=4a
a/d= 1/4
which implies 
a:d = 1:4
