Detailed Solution

\large {C_x}{H_y} + \left( {x + \frac{y}{4}} \right){O_2} \to xC{O_2} + \frac{y}{2}{H_2}O\
40\;ml\;\;\;\;\;\large 40\left( {x + \frac{y}{4}} \right)\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\40x\

Given

40x = 160

x = 4

\large 40\left( {x + \frac{y}{4}} \right)\ = 260

4x + y = 26

4(4) + y = 26

y = 10

Hydrocarbon is C4H10
