\mathrm{\text{For first line in Lyman series}\, \lambda_{L_1}=\frac{4}{3 R}}\quad \cdots(i)

\mathrm{\text{For first line in Balmer series}\, \lambda_{B_1}=\frac{36}{5 R}}\quad \cdots\left ( ii \right )

From equation (i) and (ii)

\mathrm{\frac{\lambda_{B_1}}{\lambda_{L_1}}=\frac{27}{5} \Rightarrow \lambda_{B_1}=\frac{27}{5} \lambda_{L_1} \Rightarrow \lambda_{B_1}=\frac{27}{5} \lambda}
