\frac{I_{max}}{I_{min}}= \left [\frac{ \sqrt{\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}}+ 1 }{ \sqrt{\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}}- 1 }\right ]^{2}

= \left [\frac{ \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}}+ 1 }{ \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}}- 2 }\right ]^{2} = 25/1

 

Ratio of maximum and minimum intensity -

\frac{I_{max}}{I_{min}}=\left ( \frac{\sqrt{I_{1}}+\sqrt{I_{2}}}{\sqrt{I_{1}}-\sqrt{I_{2}}} \right )^{2}
