Correct answer
D75 and 25

Step-by-step explanation

Weight of the organic compound, W=120g,

Weight of carbondioxide (x)=330g

Weight of water (y)=270g

Percentage of carbon=1244XxWX100                                       =1244X330120X100                                        =75%Percentage of Hydrogen =218XyWX100                                       =218X270120X100                                        =25%
