Electron in hydrogen atom first jumps from third excited state to second excited state and then from second excited to the first excited state. The ratio of the wavelengths λ1:λ2 emitted in the two cases is 

ans; 1st the electron jumps from 3rd excited state to the 2nd ie from n=4 to n=3 
then 1/λ1 =R(1/n12 -1/n22 )= R ( 1/9 – 1/16) =R (7/144)
similarly 1/λ2 = R ( ¼ – 1/9 )=R(5/36)
∴ λ1/λ2 = 1/R(144/7) * R (5/36) =4*5/7 =20/7
so the ans is 20/7
