The correct answer is:
$r-s$
$\mathrm{C}(s)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g) ; \Delta H=r$ ...(i)
$\mathrm{CO}(g)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g) ; \Delta H=s$ ...(ii)
$\mathrm{C}(s)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}(g) ; \Delta H=?$
Subtract Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i)

$\mathrm{CO}(g)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g) ; \Delta H=s$ ...(ii)
$\mathrm{C}(s)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}(g) ; \Delta H=?$
Subtract Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i)
