Solution

The correct option is D 3
Four lines are observed in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum.

These corresponds to the transitions 51,41,31 and 21.

The possible transitions in the IR region are 54,53 and 43.

Thus, in the infrared region of the spectrum, 3 lines are produced.

Hence, the correct option is C
