Dear Student,
The energies of the stationary states for hydrogen like species such as Li2 +, He+, etc. are integral multiple of Z2 times the energies of the stationary states for hydrogen atoms, in similar transitions.
Hence, the wave number of the first Balmer line of Li 2+ ion = 32 x 15200/cm = 9 x 15200/cm = 136800/cm.
