Solution

The correct option is B 37
Let the equation have coefficients as follows:
A C5H11NH2+B O2C CO2+D H2O+E NO2

Balancing the number of atoms of each element on both sides, we get
5A=C
11A+2A=2D
13A=2D
A=E
2B=2C+2E+D

C5H11NH2 has the largest number of atoms. Hence, let A=E=1
Then, C=5
2D=13 D=132
2B=10+2+132
4B=20+4+13=37 B=374

Therefore, C5H11NH2+(374)O25CO2+(132)H2O+NO2

Multiplying by 4, we get
4C5H11NH2+37O220CO2+26H2O+4NO2
