The correct answer is: 19 : 2
Given, mass of CO2=0.535
Mass of compound =0.765 g
Now, percentage of carbon
= weight  molecular wt. × mass of CO2 mass of compound ×100=1244×0.5350.765×100C=19.07%=19%

Similarly, mass of H2O=0.13 g
mass of compound =0.765 g
Now, percentage of hydrogen =218×0.1380.765×100
%H=2.00%
Ratio of C and H is 19:2
Hence, the ratio of percentage of C and H is 19:2.
