  3. 48.62 pm
  4. 39.46 pm

Solution

$\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{52.9(\mathrm{n})^2}{\mathrm{Z}} \mathrm{pm}$ $\mathrm{He}^{+}$is a hydrogen-like species having $\mathrm{Z}=2$. Radius of the first orbit of $\mathrm{He}^{+}$ $=\mathrm{r}_1=\frac{52.9 \times(1)^2}{2} \mathrm{pm}=26.45 \mathrm{pm}$
