The correct answer is:
$(4 \lambda, 0)$
The given situation can be show as
The intensity will be maximum at those given points where the path difference between the two interfering waves is an integral multiple of wavelength $i . e ., \Delta x=n \lambda$
For the the given points, the intensily will be maximum for $(4 \lambda, 0)$
