The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{n}=3$ to $\mathrm{n}=5$
$\frac{1}{\lambda}=\mathrm{R}\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_1^2}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_2^2}\right)$
For $\mathrm{UV}_1=1$ and $\mathrm{n}_2=6, \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{R}} \frac{36}{35}$
For infrared the wavelength must be greater the UV wavelength.
For $\mathrm{n}_1=3$ and $\mathrm{n}_2=5, \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{R}} \frac{225}{16}$
This is the largest wavelength we can get. So, it is the answer.
