\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{r}-1+1}={ }^{29} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}-1}(3)^{29-\mathrm{r}+1}(7 \mathrm{x})^{\mathrm{r}-1} \\ & ={ }^{29} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}-1} 3^{30-\mathrm{r}}(7 \mathrm{x})^{\mathrm{r}-1}----(1) \\ & \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{r}+1}={ }^{29} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}} 3^{29-\mathrm{r}}(7 \mathrm{x})^{\mathrm{r}}---(2) \end{aligned}

Comparing coefficient of x from (i) and (ii) 
\begin{aligned} & \frac{3}{29-r+1}=\frac{7}{r} \\ & \mathrm{r}=21 . \end{aligned}
