If the co-efficient of

Question:

If the co-efficient 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________.

Solution:

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

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{n}-7=48 \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=55$
