it is a standard standard hydrocarbon combustion
 
CxHy +(x+y/4)CO2= xCO2 +(y/2) H2O

for detm. of formula of hydrocarbon from which the questions usually come--
4(p/m-1)=y
mx=n     from x,y detm. of formula is done.
where n=vol. of CO2      p=diff. in volume      m=vol. of hydrocarbon
I think you wil get the answer.
