The correct answer is: they are not monochromatic
Two beams of light give rise to an interference pattern if they are coherent, they have same wavelength/frequency in same phase or having a constant phase difference and same state of polarisation.
Interference pattern can not be obtained if the two beams are not mono chromatic.
