    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}\,\,\xrightarrow{{}}\,\,2{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\,\,+\,\,2C{{O}_{2}}\,\,+\,\,21\,\,kcal\] \[RQ=\frac{volume\,\,of\,\,C{{O}_{2}}}{volume\,\,of\,\,{{O}_{2}}}\,\,=\,\,\frac{2}{0}\,\,=\,\,\infty \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,(infinity)\] Though the numerical value of - is oo but practically RQ will be more than unity.
