Correct answer

A. 6060

Step-by-step solution

Given that PP(getting odd 77 times) =P= P(getting odd 99 times).

This is the case of binomial distribution with nn successes and probability of success =p=36= p = \dfrac{3}{6} and failure is q=1−p=12q = 1 - p = \dfrac{1}{2}.

We know that P(X=k)=Ckn(p)k(q)n−kP\left(X = k\right) = Ck n {\left(p\right)}^{k}{\left(q\right)}^{n - k}

Now P(X=7)=P(X=9)P\left(X = 7\right) = P\left(X = 9\right)

⇒C7n(12)7(12)n−7=C9n(12)9(12)n−9⇒ C7 n {\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}^{7}{\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}^{n - 7} = C9 n {\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}^{9}{\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}^{n - 9}

⇒C7n=C9n⇒ C7 n = C9 n

⇒Cn−7n=C9n⇒ Cn - 7 n = C9 n

⇒n=16⇒ n = 16

⇒P(2timeseven)=C216(12)14(12)2⇒ P ( 2timeseven ) = C2 16 {\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}^{14}{\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}^{2}

=15×4215=60215=k215= \dfrac{15 \times 4}{{2}^{15}} = \dfrac{60}{{2}^{15}} = \dfrac{k}{{2}^{15}}

⇒k=60⇒ k = 60

Hence this is the required option.
