(b,c) As per the law of multiple proporation, if P and Q form two or more compounds, then the ratio of the masses of one of the element (P) that combines with fix mass of Q bear a simple whole number ratio.
Now

Given that formula of compound 3 is
and that of compound 2 is 
Then compound
Compound
So, ratio of masses of P in 3 and 2 which combines with fixed mass of
But from table 2, ratio of masses of P in 3 and 2
Since two ratio are not same, so option is incorrect.
Empirical formula of compound

So, empirical formula of compound 3 is 
Compound 2
PQ or
Compound 3 
So, ratio of masses of P in 2 and 3 which combines with fix mass of Q is =4:5 which resembles table 2.
Empirical form of compound should be
and not
