Solution

According to Bohr-Bury scheme, the maximum number of electrons present in a shell is given by the formula 2n2, where ‘n’ is the orbit number.
Therefore, the K shell (n=1) will have a maximum of 2 electrons and the L shell (n=2) will have a maximum of 8 electrons.

In representation (I), K-shell has 2 electrons and L-shell has 5 electrons.
So, it is a correct representation with respect to Bohr-Bury scheme.

In representation (II), K-shell has 4 electrons and L-shell has 8 electrons.
So, it is an incorrect representation with respect to Bohr-Bury scheme, since K-shell cannot have 4 electrons.

In representation (III), K-shell has 2 electrons and L-shell has 7 electrons.
So, it is a correct representation with respect to Bohr-Bury scheme.
