Which of the following is the path difference for destructive interference?

Two identical radiators have a separation of $d = \lambda /4$ where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the waves emitted by either source. The initial phase difference between the sources is $\pi /4$. Then the intensity on the screen at a distant point situated at an angle $\theta = 30^\circ$ from the radiators is (here $I_o$ is the intensity at that point due to one radiator alone):
