We know that,

Cpm - Cvm = R

where,

Cpm = molar heat capacity at constant pressure

Cvm = molar heat capacity at constant volume

As we know,

Cv.m = M.Cv

where, m = molar mass of gas

∴ MCp - MCv = R

Cp - Cv = R/M

Cp/Cv - 1 = \(\frac R{C_v.M}\)

⇒ 1.3 - 1 = \(\frac R{C_v.M}\)

⇒ 0.3 = \(\frac R{C_v.M}\)

⇒ M = \(\frac R{C_v\times0.3}\)
