In an inelastic collision, an electron excites a hydrogen atom from its ground state to an $M$-shell state. $A$ second electron collides instantaneously with the excited hydrogen atom in the $M$-state and ionizes it. At least how much energy must the second electron transfer to the atom in the $M$-state?

Energy levels $A, B$ and $C$ of a certain atom correspond to increasing values of energy, i.e., $E_A < E_B < E_C$.
