$A$ bag contains $2n+1$ coins. It is known that $n$ of these coins have heads on both sides,whereas the other $n+1$ coins are fair. One coin is selected at random and tossed. If the probability that the toss results in heads is $\frac{31}{42}$,then the value of $n$ is

  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $10$
  • D
