    use formula E=-13.6*(Z^2)/n^2, where Z=atomic no and n=energy level. So E=-13.6*(2^2)/(1*1)=54.4.. so option is c

    Removing first electron from helium is harder(because of stable configuration) than removing second electron. That's why ionisation energy will ge greater than half the given energy. Hence option C is correct.
