The correct answer is: 60

Given that P(getting odd 7 times) =P(getting odd 9 times).

This is the case of binomial distribution with n successes and probability of success =p=36 and failure is q=1-p=12.

We know that PX=k=Cknpkqn-k

Now PX=7=PX=9

C7n12712n-7=C9n12912n-9

C7n=C9n

Cn-7n=C9n

 n = 16

P(2 times even )=C2161214122

=15×4215=60215=k215

k=60

Hence this is the required option.
