\frac{hc}{\lambda }=(13.6eV)z^{2}\left [ \frac{1}{n^{2}_{1}}-\frac{1}{n^{2}_{2}} \right ]

n_{1}=1

n_{2}=3

\frac{hc}{\lambda }=(13.6eV)(3^{2})\left [ \frac{1}{1^{2}}-\frac{1}{3^{2}} \right ]

\Rightarrow \frac{hc}{\lambda }=(13.6eV)(9)\left ( \frac{8}{9} \right )

Wavelength=\frac{1240}{8\times 13.6}nm

{\lambda }=11.40nm

Hence the correct option is (1).
