With respect to atomic spectrum, each line in the Lyman series is due to electrons returning

With respect to atomic spectrum, each line in the Lyman series is due to electrons returning
  1. from a particular higher energy lever to n = 3
  2. from a particular higher energy level to n = 2
  3. from a particular higher energy level to n = 1
  4. from a particular higher energy level to n = 4

Solution

Lyman series: From n = 2, 3, 4, 5 ..... to n = 1.
In case of Balmer series, Paschen series, Bracket series the value of ground states are 2, 3, 4 respectively. ^
