The correct answer is: $\frac{27}{2} x$
Radius of 1st Bohr orbit, $\mathrm{r}=\frac{0.529 \mathrm{n}^2}{\mathrm{z}} Å$
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{He}^{+}}: \mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{Li}^{2+}}=\frac{0.529 \times 3^2}{2}: \frac{0.529 \times 1^2}{3}=\frac{9}{2}: \frac{1}{3} \\ & \therefore \mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{He}^{+}}=\frac{27}{2} x\end{aligned}$
