Hey dear,

● Answer - 4

◆ Explaination-
Wavelength in balmer series is given by,
λb = 36 / (5RZ^2)

Wavelength in lyman series is given by,
λl = 4 / (3RZ^2)

Difference is wavelength is,
λb - λl = 36/(5RZ^2) - 4/(3RZ^2)
33.4×10^-7 = (36/5-4/3)/(RZ^2)
33.4×10^-7 = 5.867 / (RZ^2)
Z^2 = 5.867×10^7 / (33.4×1.1×10^5)
Z^2 = 15.97
Z = 3.99 ~ aprox 4

Atomic number of the ion is 4.

Hope this is helpful...
