Two periodic waves of intensities $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ pass through a region at the same time in the same direction. The sum of the maximum and minimum intensities is

Two coherent monochromatic point sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ of wavelength $\lambda = 600 \ nm$ are placed symmetrically on either side of the centre of the circle as shown. The sources are separated by a distance $d = 1.8 \ mm$. This arrangement produces interference fringes visible as alternate bright and dark spots on the circumference of the circle. The angular separation between two consecutive bright spots is $\Delta \theta$. Which of the following options is/are correct?
$[A]$ $A$ dark spot will be formed at the point $P_2$
$[B]$ At $P_2$ the order of the fringe will be maximum
$[C]$ The total number of fringes produced between $P_1$ and $P_2$ in the first quadrant is close to $3000$
$[D]$ The angular separation between two consecutive bright spots decreases as we move from $P_1$ to $P_2$ along the first quadrant
