Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:

Number of moles of C = Number of moles of CO2 = 3 3 0 4 4 moles

Number of moles of H = 2 * no. of moles of H2O = ( 2 7 0 1 8 * 2 ) moles

 Mass of C = 3 3 0 4 4 * 1 2 gm = 90 gm

 Mass of H = 2 7 0 1 8 * 2 * 1 g m = 3 0 g m

% o f C = 9 0 1 2 0 * 1 0 0 % = 7 5 % % o f H = 3 0 1 2 0 * 1 0 0 % = 2 5 %
