What is the maximum wavelength of the $H_{\alpha}$ line in the Balmer series of the hydrogen atom (in $nm$)?

In which of the following series does the $121.5 \ nm$ line of the spectrum of the hydrogen atom lie?

Assertion : In Lyman series,the ratio of minimum and maximum wavelength is $\frac{3}{4}$.
Reason : Lyman series constitute spectral lines corresponding to transition from higher energy to ground state of hydrogen atom.

The wavelength of light for the least energetic photons emitted in the Lyman series of the hydrogen spectrum is nearly. [Take $hc = 1240 \text{ eV-nm}$, change in energy of the levels $= 10.2 \text{ eV}$] (in $\text{ nm}$)

In the Balmer series,the wavelength of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ line is $\lambda_1$ and for the Paschen series,the wavelength of the $1^{\text{st}}$ line is $\lambda_2$. Then the ratio $\lambda_1 : \lambda_2$ is:
