try this,
public FileResult download(string filename)
       {
           string path = "";
           var content_type = "";
           path = Path.Combine(@"Contribution_", filename);

           if (filename.Contains(".pdf"))
           {
               content_type = "application/pdf";
           }

           else if (filename.Contains(".mp4"))
           {
               content_type = "video/mp4";
           }
           else if (filename.Contains(".docx"))
           {
               content_type = "application/docx";
           }
           else if (filename.Contains(".jpg") || filename.Contains(".jpeg"))
           {
               content_type = "image/jpeg";
           }

           {
               content_type = "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint";
           }
           else if (filename.Contains(".xls") || filename.Contains(".xlsx"))
           {
               content_type = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
