From \mathrm{n=2}\: \mathrm{to}\: \: \mathrm{n=1}

\mathrm{Energy \: \: of \: \: photon=\frac{hc}{\lambda }=Rch\left ( \frac{1}{n ^{2}_{f}} -\frac{1}{n^{2}_{i}}\right )}

\mathrm{E_{1}=Rch\left ( \frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{4} \right )=\frac{3}{4}Rch}

\mathrm{E_{2}=Rch\left ( \frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{\infty } \right )=Rch}

\mathrm{\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}=\frac{3}{4}}

Hence 1 is correct option
