  3. C \(60\) and \(40\)
  4. D \(75\) and \(25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(75\) and \(25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given mass of organic compound \(=120\) mass of \(CO _{2}( g )=330\, g\) mass of \(H _{2} O (\ell)=270\, g\) mass of carbon \(= n _{ CO _{2}} \times 12\) \(=\frac{330}{44} \times 12=90 \,g\) \(\,\%\) of carbon \(=\frac{90}{120} \times 100=75 \,\%\) mass of hydrogen…
