The only electron in the hydrogen atom resides under ordinary conditions in the first orbit. When
energy is supplied, the electron moves to higher energy orbit depending on the amount of energy
absorbed. When this electron returns to any of the lower orbits, it emits energy. Lyman series is
formed when the electron returns to the lowest orbit while Balmer series is formed when the
electron returns to second orbit. Similarly, Paschen, Brackett and Pfund series are formed when
electron returns to the third, fourth and fifth orbits from higher energy orbits respectively.
Maximum number of lines produced when an electron jumps from nth level to ground level is equal

to . For example, in the case of n = 4 , number of lines produced is 6. (4 → 3, 4 → 2, 4 → 1, 3

→ 2 , 3 → 1, 2 → 1). When an electron returns from n2 to n1 state, the number of lines in the spectrum

transition from one energy level to another will produce a light of definite wavelength. This is

Let C, H, F denote the sets of members who are on the cricket team, hockey team and football team
respectively.

Then we are given n(C) = 21, n(H) = 26, n(F) = 29

n(H ∩ C) = 14, n(H ∩ F) = 15, n(F ∩ C) = 12
n(C ∩ H ∩ F) = 8
n(C ∪ H ∪ F) = n(C) + (H) + n(F) – n(C ∩ H) – n(H ∩ F) – n(F ∩ C) + n(C ∩ H ∩ F)
Hence, n(C ∪ H ∪ F) = (21 + 26 + 29) – (14 + 15 + 12) + 8 = 43
