C

$48$

D

$61$

Solution

${ }^{n} C_{7} 2^{n-7} \frac{1}{3^{7}}=^{n} C_{8} 2^{n-8} \frac{1}{3^{8}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{n !}{(n-7) ! 7 !} 2^{n-7} \frac{1}{3^{7}}=\frac{n !}{(n-8) ! 8 !} 2^{n-8} \frac{1}{3^{8}} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{(n-7)}=\frac{1}{8} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{3}$

$\Rightarrow n-7=48 \Rightarrow n=55$
