\left|\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{K}}\right|=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda_{\mathrm{K}}}=\frac{12.4 \mathrm{KeV} \AA}{0.15 \AA}=82.7 \mathrm{KeV}

The energy of incident photon

\mathrm{E_v=\frac{h c}{\lambda}=\frac{12.4}{0.1}=124 \mathrm{KeV}}
The maximum kinetic energy is

\mathrm{ K_{\max }=E_v-\left|E_k\right|=41.3 \mathrm{KeV} \simeq 41 \mathrm{KeV} }

Hence option 1 is correct.
