Solution

The correct option is D 80.04 eV
The first IE of He is much higher than that of its' second IE as the first e removed is fully filled shell, i.e; 1s2.
So, IE1 of He=25.6eV
Then He+ is isoelectronic to hydrogen atom with 1s1 configuration.
HE2=|E1(He+)|
=22×13.6eV12
=54.44eV
IE1+IE2=25.6+54.4=80.04eV
