Solution

The correct option is A 54.4 eV
According to question (Be)+++ ground state energy is 13.6 eV
and total energy given to the atom to ionise in +3 is equal to remove three electrons which is in ground state and having energy 3×13.6eV=40.8eV
So energy of state in triply ionized beryllium = 13.6 eV + 40.8 eV = 54.4 eV
