Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 80

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Organic Compound\(\rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_2\) Applying POAC on ' C ' (mole) of ' C ' in compound \(=\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{CO}_2} \times 1\) So mass of ' C ' in compound \(=\frac{1.46}{44} \times 12\) So, \(\%\) of ' C ' in compound…
