Solution

(30)3(35)2n

=(2×3×5)3(7×5)2n

=23×33×5372×52n

=23×33×53272n

=23×33×572n
To get the result as integer, the denominator should be reduced to 1 and that is possible only when we have 72 in the numerator.
Since, n is not given we can take it 72 to get the final result as integer.
23×33×5×7272=23×33×5 is an integer.
Thus, the value of n=72=49.
