Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 54

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have \(n p=18\) and \(n p q=12\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \mathrm{q}=\frac{12}{18}=\frac{2}{3} \quad \Rightarrow \mathrm{p}=1-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3} \\
& \therefore \mathrm{n}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)=18 \quad \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=54
\end{aligned}
