Solution

The correct option is B 79.0eV
Given, Energy required to remove electron in ground state from a neutral atom is 24.6eV, which makes it He+ hydrogen like atom.
Energy required to remove electron from singly ionized helium is 13.6×24.
Therefore, Energy required to remove both the electrons is 24.6+54.4=79.0eV
