Correct answer
B. 6
Step-by-step solution
For spectrum \left(\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{4^{2}}\right)=\frac{3}{16} \mathrm{R} \text{ For } \mathrm{Li}^{2+}\left[\frac{1}{\lambda}=\mathrm{R} \times9\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}^{2}}-\frac{1}{12^{2}}\right)=\frac{3 \mathrm{R}}{16}\right]n=12 \rightarrow n=6
