Multiple choice

A $20.0 cm^{2}$ mixture of $CO, CH_{4}$ and He gases is exploded by an electric discharge at room temperature with excess of oxygen. The volume contraction is found to be $13.0cm^{3}$. A further contraction of $14.0 cm^{3}$ occurs when the residual gas is treated with KOH solution. Find out the volume percentage of CO in gaseous mixture.
