According to Rydberg formula,
1/lemda = RZ²[ 1/n1² - n2²]
where R is Rydberg constant .

for any series limit n2 = ∞
then , 1/lemda = RZ²[ 1/n1² - 1/∞]
1/lemda = RZ²/n1²

1/lemda = R( Z/n1)²
hence, wavelength is inversely proportional to square of Atomic no and directly proportional to square of n1 .

hence,
lemda1/lemda2 = ( Z2/Z1)²( n1/n2)²

here,
Z2 = 3
Z1 = 2
n1 = 1
n2 = 2
lemda1 = x A°
now,
Lemda1/lemda2 = (3/2)² × ( 1/2)² = 9/16
xA°/lemda2 = 9/16
lemda 2 = 16x/9 A°

so, option B is correct .
