for the formation of CH_3OH the reaction is ,

C+2H_{2}O+\frac{1}{2}O_{2}\rightarrow CH_3OH
This can be obtained by the following expressions-
required eq = eq (i) + 2 (eq iii) - eq (i)

 \Delta _fH[CH_{3}OH] = \Delta _cH^\Theta +2\Delta _fH[H_{2}O]-\Delta _rH^\Theta
                                    =(-393) + 2(-286)-(-726)
                                     =-239 kJmol^{-1}
