Since,
Idoubleslit=Iocos2(2Δϕ) Where,
Δϕ=λ2πdsin(θ) Now, Central maximum occurs when dsin(θ)=λ ,thus from above formula we get,
Idoubleslit=Iocos2(22π)=Io(1)
And
Isingleslit=Io(βsin(β))2 where,
β=λπasin(θ) Thus, we have central maximum when,θ→0⟹β→0 ,thusβsin(β)→1 ,
Hence,
Isingleslit=Io(2) Therefore, from equations (1) and (2) we get,
Intensity for both the slit at central maximum is equal.

Dear Dheeraj, please check first equation: (\Delta\phi/2)
in equation 1, you did 2π/2. But if we put dsinθ=λ, e will get only 2π. So ho did you got it?
