Let the energy in case (1) and case (2) be \mathrm{E_{1}\&E_{2}} respectively

\mathrm{\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}=\frac{x}{x+4}----(Given)}

\mathrm{E_{1}=-13.6\: eV\left [ \frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{3^{2}} \right ]}\rightarrow (1)

\mathrm{E_2=-13.6 \mathrm{ev}\left[\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{n^2}\right]}

\mathrm{\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{\left[\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{9}\right]}{\left[\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{n^2}\right]}=\frac{x}{x+4}}

\mathrm{n \rightarrow \infty }  (highest permitted level)

\mathrm{\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{\frac{5}{3 6}}{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{5}{9}=\frac{x}{x+4}}

\mathrm{x=5}

The value of x will be 5
