Explanation

(c) In Young’s double slit experiment, if white light is used in place of monochromatic light, then the central fringe is white and some coloured fringes around the central fringe are formed

Since $\beta_{red} > \beta_{violet}$ etc., the bright fringe of violet colour forms first and that of the red forms later
It may be noted that, the inner edge of the dark fringe is red, while the outer edge is violet. Similarly, the inner edge of the bright fringe is violet and the outer edge is red
