The correct answer is:
50
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{{ }^{n+1} C_r}{{ }^n C_r}=\frac{55}{35} \\ & \frac{(n+1) !}{(r+1) !(n-r)} ! \frac{r !(n-r) !}{n !}=\frac{11}{7} \\ & \frac{(n+1)}{r+1}=\frac{11}{7}\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & 7 \mathrm{n}=4+11 \mathrm{r} \\ & \frac{{ }^n C_r}{{ }^{n-1} C_{r-1}}=\frac{35}{21} \\ & \frac{n !}{r !(n-r) !}=\frac{(r-1) !(n-r) !}{(n-1) !}=\frac{5}{3} \\ & \frac{n}{r}=\frac{5}{3} \\ & 3 n=5 r \\ & \text { By solving } r=6 \quad n=10 \\ & 2 n+5 r=50\end{aligned}$
