`20cm^(3)` of gaseous hydrocarbon mixed with excess of oxygen is exploded. A contraction in the volume of `30cm^(3)` takes place. On treating the produces gaseous mixture with KOH solution, it sufffers a further contraction of 40`cm^(3)`. Determine the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon. [all volumes are measured at the same temperature and pressure].
