As we learnt in

Radius of diffraction disc -

R=1.22\frac{\lambda D}{b}
 

- wherein

D= Distance of screen from hole

b= slit width

 

 

 

Resolution limit  = \frac{1.22\lambda }{d}

Again resolution limit = \sin \Theta = \Theta = \frac{y}{D}

\therefore \; \; \; \; \frac{y}{D}= \frac{1.22\lambda }{d}

or\; \; \; \; \; \; D= \frac{\lambda d}{1.22\lambda }

or\; \; \; \; \; \; D= \frac{\left ( 10^{3} \right )\times \left ( 3\times 10^{-3} \right )}{\left ( 1.22 \right )\times \left ( 5\times 10^{-7} \right )}= \frac{30}{6.1}\approx 5mm

Correct option is 3.
