The correct answer is: 122.4
For hydrogen and hydrogen like atoms
                   E n = - 1 3 . 6 Z 2 n 2  eV  
Therefore,ground state energy of doubly ionized lithium atom (Z=3,n=1) will be

E n = - 1 3 · 6 3 2 3 2 1 2 = - 1 2 2 · e V
Ionization energy of an electron in ground state of doubly ionized lithium atom will be 122.4 eV
