$\frac{x}{x+4}$ is the ratio of energies of photons produced due to the transition of an electron of a hydrogen atom from its $(i)$ third permitted energy level to the second level and $(ii)$ the highest permitted energy level to the second permitted level. The value of $x$ will be.

Let $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ be the energy of an electron in the first and second excited states of a hydrogen atom,respectively. According to the Bohr's model of an atom,the ratio $T_{1}: T_{2}$ is
