Explanation:

The general formula of an alkane is given as;

CₙH₂ₙ₊₂

n is the number of the member;

For the 97th member in the series;

n = 97;

2n + 2 = 2(97) + 2 = 196

So, the 97th member is;

C₉₇H₁₉₆

This is how to apply the formula of alkanes which are saturated hydrocarbons to find any member of the series.
