When two elements combine to form more than one compound,the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are in a simple whole number ratio.
$(a)$ Is the statement given above correct?
$(b)$ If 'yes',which law does it follow?
$(c)$ Give an example corresponding to this law.

The law of multiple proportions is illustrated by the two compounds:

Carbon and oxygen combine to form two oxides,carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide,in which the ratio of the weights of carbon and oxygen is respectively $12 : 16$ and $12 : 32$. These figures illustrate the:

Carbon and oxygen form two known compounds. One compound contains $42.9\%$ carbon,while the other contains $27.3\%$ carbon. This illustrates the law of:

To check the principle of multiple proportions,a series of pure binary compounds $(P_m Q_n)$ were analyzed and their composition is tabulated below. The correct option$(s)$ is(are)

Compound	Weight $\%$ of $P$	Weight $\%$ of $Q$
$1$	$50$	$50$
$2$	$44.4$	$55.6$
$3$	$40$	$60$

$(A)$ If empirical formula of compound $3$ is $P_3 Q_4$,then the empirical formula of compound $2$ is $P_3 Q_5$.
$(B)$ If empirical formula of compound $3$ is $P_3 Q_2$ and atomic weight of element $P$ is $20$,then the atomic weight of $Q$ is $45$.
$(C)$ If empirical formula of compound $2$ is $PQ$,then the empirical formula of the compound $1$ is $P_5 Q_4$.
$(D)$ If atomic weight of $P$ and $Q$ are $70$ and $35$,respectively,then the empirical formula of compound $1$ is $P_2 Q$.

In $SO_2$ and $SO_3$,the masses of oxygen that combine with $48 \, g$ of sulfur are respectively ......... .
