Let \mathrm{E_K, E_L, E_M, E_N} be the binding energies of \mathrm{K, L, M \: \: and \: \: N} shell. Let \mathrm{E_P} be energy of incident photon. Then

\mathrm{ E_P-E_K=24 \mathrm{KeV} }  .........(1)

\mathrm{ E_P-E_L=100 \mathrm{KeV} }..........(2)

\mathrm{ E_P-E_M=110 \mathrm{KeV} }........(3)

\mathrm{ E\left(K_\alpha\right)=E_K-E_L=100-24=76 \mathrm{KeV} }

Hence option 2 is correct.
