As we learnt in

Energy emitted due to transition of electron -

\Delta E= Rhcz^{2}\left ( \frac{1}{n_{f}\, ^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{i}\, ^{2}} \right )

\frac{1}{\lambda }= Rz^{2}\left ( \frac{-1}{n_{i}\, ^{2}}+\frac{1}{n_{f}\, ^{2}} \right )

- wherein

R= R hydberg\: constant

n_{i}= initial state \\n_{f}= final \: state

 

 For Li++,  z  = 3

\Delta E=E_{0}Z^{2}\left(\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \right ) = 13.6\times 9\left(\frac{1}{1^{2}}-\frac{1}{3^{2}} \right ) = 13.6\times 9\times \frac{8}{9}

\Delta E=108.8 eV

Correct option is 3.
