JEE Physics Practice Question

Consider a hydrogen-like ionized atom with atomic number $Z$ with a single electron. In the emission spectrum of this atom, the photon emitted in the $n=2$ to $n=1$ transition has energy $74.8 \mathrm{eV}$ higher than the photon emitted in the $n=3$ to $n=2$ transition. The ionization energy of the hydrogen atom is $13.6 \mathrm{eV}$. What is the value of $Z$?
