Assume that the cost of a 2 2 switch in a shuffle network is twice the cost

Question:

Assume that the cost of a 2 2 switch in a shuffle network is twice the cost of a crosspoint in a crossbar switch. There are n crosspoints in an n x n crossbar switch. As n increases, the crossbar becomes more costly than the shuffle network. What is the smallest value of n for which crossbar cost is five times more costly than the shuffle network?
