##### Method of solving this CAT Question from Logs and Exponents: Application of Basic Identities of Logarithms!

First, the nth term of L.H.S need to be defined by observing the pattern :-
It is log(2n) 2.2n
Given,
log2 4 * log4 8 * log8 16 * ……………log(2n) 2.2n = 49
Whenever solving a logarithm equation, generally one should approach towards making the base same.

Making the base 2:-
log2 4 * $$frac {log_2{8}}{log_2{4}}\\$ * $\frac {log_2{16}}{log_2{8}}\\$ * ....... $\frac {log_2{2.2^n}}{log_2{2^n}}\\$ log$2n) 2.2n = 49
log(2n) 2 + log(2n) 2n = 49
1 + n = 49
n = 48

The question is "what is the value of n?"

##### Hence, the answer is "48".

Choice B is the correct answer.
