Ratio of mass % of 
and 
in 
is 
.
Therefore,
Ratio of mole % of 
and 
in 
will be 
.
Therefore 
, which is possible in options 1,2 and 3.
Now oxygen required to burn 
Now 
is half of oxygen atoms required to burn 
.
Now putting values of 
and 
from the given options:
Option , 
Option 2, 
Therefore, correct option is
