Detailed Solution

In the expansion (2+13x)n

(Tr+1=nCrxnr(a)r be the general term of expansion  (x+a)n)

Then Tr+1=nCr2nr(13x)r=nCr2nr3rxr

So, coefficient of xr=nCr2nr3r  

 Coefficient of x7=nC72n737

And   coefficient of x8  =nC82n838  

According to problem coefficients are equal hence

nC72n737=nC82n838nC8nC7=382n7372n8nC8nC7=6

nC8nC7=6n78=6  (nCrnCr1=nr+1r)

n=55
