7.Binomial Theorem
medium
If the coefficients of $x^{7}$ and $x^{8}$ in the expansion of $\left(2+\frac{x}{3}\right)^{n}$ are equal, then the value of $n$ is equal to $.....$
A
$44$
B
$55$
C
$48$
D
$61$
(JEE MAIN-2021)
Solution
${ }^{n} C_{7} 2^{n-7} \frac{1}{3^{7}}=^{n} C_{8} 2^{n-8} \frac{1}{3^{8}}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{n !}{(n-7) ! 7 !} 2^{n-7} \frac{1}{3^{7}}=\frac{n !}{(n-8) ! 8 !} 2^{n-8} \frac{1}{3^{8}} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{(n-7)}=\frac{1}{8} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{3}$
$\Rightarrow n-7=48 \Rightarrow n=55$
