I don't believe there is enough information to answer this question.
A b.p. of 309 K is 36 Celsius and that could be pentane, C5H12 if that is the alkane series. The question doesn't specify alkane, alkene, alkyne series. The next higher member of the alkane series is hexane or C6H14. The next lower member of that series is butane, C4H10. The problem doesn't specify which homologous series NOR where in the homologous series the "other member" is. I suspect there is something missing from the question.
The boiling point of another member of this homologous series was found to be 309 K. What is the likely molecular formula for this compound?
