The correct answer is: 18

CxHyOz+x+y4-z2O2xCO2+y2H2O0.3 g                                     0.2 g      0.1 g

CO2nH2On=xy2=0.2440.118=911

x=9y22

Now, CxHyO2nCO2n=1x

0.312x+y+16z×440.2=1x

66x = 12 x + y + 16 z 54x = y + 16 z

54×9y22  y = 16 z

z = 29y22

CxHyOz =C9y22HyO29y22= C9H22O29

% of C = 12×912 ×9 +22 +29× 16×100 = 18.18%
