As we know that the balanced chemical reaction for the combustion is-
 
Cx ​ Hy ​ plus open parentheses straight x plus straight y over 4 close parentheses ​ straight O subscript 2 ​ space space space rightwards arrow with blank on top space space space xCO subscript 2 ​ plus space straight y over 2 ​ space space straight H subscript 2 straight O
 
Now according to the question,
 
straight x equals 2 cross times straight y over 2 equals straight y
 
Thus the empirical formula of hydrocarbon is CH.
