A gaseous hydrocarbon of volume 10 mL at...

A gaseous hydrocarbon of volume 10 mL at STP is mixed with 80 mL of `O_(2)` and burnt completely. As a result, the volume of the gaseous mixture was reduced to 70 mL. on treating the obtained gaseous mixture with KOH solution, the volume becomes 50 mL. determine the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon.
