Series limit means the shortest possible wavelength (maximum$$ photon $$energy) and first line means the largest possible wavelength (minimum$$ photon $$energy) in the series.$$v=C1n2$$−$$1m2$$                (where$$ C is a $$constant)For$$ series limit of Lyman series:$$n=1$$,$$m=$$∞ ⇒ $$v1=CFor$$ first line of Lyman series:$$n=1$$,$$m=2$$ ⇒ $$v2=3C/4For$$ series limit of Balmer series:$$n=2$$,$$m=$$∞ ⇒ $$v3=C/4Only$$ option $$(a) is correct.
