(B) Given,$p = 0.3, q = 1 - p = 0.7$. Mean $(\mu) = np = 0.3n$. Standard deviation $(\sigma) = \sqrt{npq} = \sqrt{n(0.3)(0.7)} = \sqrt{0.21n}$. Given that $\mu = 3\sigma$. Substituting the values,we get $0.3n = 3\sqrt{0.21n}$. Dividing both sides by $3$,we get $0.1n = \sqrt{0.21n}$. Squaring both sides,we get $(0.1n)^2 = 0.21n$. $0.01n^2 = 0.21n$. $n^2 = 21n$. Since $n \neq 0$,we have $n = 21$.
