In $Y.D.S.E.,$ the slits are $0.2 \, cm$ apart and are illuminated by yellow light $(\lambda = 600 \, nm).$ What would be the fringe width on a screen placed $1 \, m$ from the plane of the slits if the whole system is immersed in water of refractive index $\mu = \frac{4}{3}$ (in $, mm$)?

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: In a Young's double slit experiment, the angular separation of fringes will increase as the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits.
Statement $II$: In a Young's double slit experiment, the angular separation of fringes will increase when a monochromatic source is replaced by another monochromatic source of higher wavelength.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
