Solution

The correct option is A 5.37/1
According to Avogadro's law: Equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules/moles.

Lets consider equal volumes are combusted in such a manner that 1 mole of each is combusted.
ΔH for 1 mole of the reactant is given in the question.
Using the given data,
Hcomb(C2H2)Hcomb(H2)=1300241.8 = 5.3761
