Solution

For diffraction

Location of 1st minima

y1=Dλa=0.2469Dλ

Location of 2nd minima

y2=2Dλa=0.4938Dλ

Now for interference

Path for interference

Path difference at P.

dyD=4.8λ

Path difference at P.

dyD=9.6λ

So orders of maxima in between P and Q is

5, 6, 7, 8, 9

So 5 bright fringes all present between P & Q.
