\mathrm{E_{f}=E_{i}+\Delta E} \\

\mathrm{-\frac{13.6}{n_{f}^{2}}=\frac{-13.6}{1^{2}}+10.2 \mathrm{eV}} \\

\mathrm{n_{f}^{2}=\frac{-13.6}{-3.4}=4} \\

\mathrm{n_{f}=2}

\mathrm{\therefore } The electron will jump from the ground state to the first excited state orbit.

According to Bohr's model

\mathrm{L=\frac{n h}{2 \pi}, \qquad L \rightarrow\: angular\: momentum}\\

\mathrm{L_{i}=\frac{h}{2 \pi}, \quad L_{f}=\frac{2 h}{2 \pi}=\frac{h}{\pi}}\\

\mathrm{\Delta L=L_{f}-L_{i}=\frac{h}{2 \pi}=\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{2 \times 3.14}}\\

\mathrm{\Delta L=1.05 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J}-\mathrm{s}}

Hence the correct answer is option 2.
