Find molecular formula

Elements C H Br
Mass(g) 52.2 4.9 42.9
Number of moles of atoms \frac{52.2}{12} \frac{4.9}{1} \frac{42.9}{79.9}
Ratio of moles 4.35 4.9 0.54
Simplest ratio of moles \frac{4.35}{0.54}=8 \frac{4.9}{0.54}=9 \frac{0.54}{0.54}=1

\text { Empirical formula }=\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H_9} \mathrm{Br}

\text { Given, molar mass }=184\: \mathrm{~gmol^{-1}}

\text { So, Molecular formula }=\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H_9} \mathrm{Br}

Hence correct answer is option 3
