You are good at chemistry, I would have to think for tough question for you now.
Basics done.
@Ashish Siva - which formula did you use here?

Formula for number of spectral lines is from n 1 orbit to n 2 orbit is given by 2 ( n 1 − n 2 ) ( n 1 − n 2 + 1 ) .
In other words we have to select 2 orbits between n 1 to n 2 orbits, which is given by n 2 − n 1 + 1 C 2 which simplies to the equation above.

thanks for explanation
The answer is 2 ( 6 − 3 ) ( 6 − 3 + 1 ) = 6
