y will do nothing here. MF of X will be C_5H_12

Explanation:

1 mole of gas at r.t.p has a volume of 24 dm^3
Hence 60dm^3 of CO_2 is 60/24 mole = 2.5 mole
Now
0.5 mole HC produces 2.5 moles CO2 and 3 moles water

1 mole HC produces 5 moles CO2 and 6 moles water
So 1 molecule HC will contain 5 C atom and 12 H atom
since one molecule of CO2 contains 1 atom of C and one molecule of water contains 2 atoms of H
