In the interference pattern of Young's double slit experiment maximum and minimum intensity is given as

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

Here \mathrm{I_{1}} has been doubled and \mathrm{I_{2}} remains same. Therefore both \mathrm{I_{1}} and \mathrm{I_{2}} will increase.

Hence (A) is correct
