Detailed Solution

.Number of dark lines(in absorption) i.e excitation = number of bright lines(in emission), i.e de-excitation
It is possible only when the e - is excited to n=2 from ground state
Clearly,  ΔE=91.8eV and 40.8eV are possible
The energy of electron in the first and second orbit is  13.6eV and 3.4eV.
The energy difference is 13.6-3.4=10.2eV

40.810.2=4 an integer
