C3H6 and CH4
The empirical number is found by looking at the ratio of the numbers. For example, H20 and H402 have the same empirical formula because the ratio remained similar. 2 H to 1 O.

Answer:
c) C₃H₆ and CH₄
Explanation:
The empirical formula is obtained from a molecular formula by dividing it with a whole number with which all elements are divisible completely. Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of all the elements present in a molecule.
Let us consider all the examples
a) C₂H₆ and C₆H₁₈
Empirical formula of C₂H₆ = CH₃[by dividing with two]
Empirical formula of C₆H₁₈= CH₃ [by dividing with six]
b) C₃H₆O₃and C₂H₄O₂
Empirical formula of C₃H₆O₃ = CH₂O[by dividing with three]
Empirical formula of C₂H₄O₂= CH₂O [by dividing with two]
c) C₃H₆ and CH₄
Empirical formula of C₃H₆ = CH₂[by dividing with three]
Empirical formula of CH₄= CH₄ [already simplest ratio]
So these are not same.
d) CH₂O and C₃H₆O₃
Empirical formula of C₃H₆O₃ = CH₂O[by dividing with three]
Empirical formula of CH₂O= CH₂O [already simplest ratio]
