Explanation

In Carius method
mass of organic compound = 0.172 gm
mass of Bromine = 0.08 gm

Hence % of Bromine = $${{0.08} \over {0.172}} \times 100$$

= 46.51 %

Option (A) Br mass % = $${{80} \over {109}} \times 100$$ = 73.33%

(B) Br mass % = $${{80} \over {95}} \times 100$$ = 84.2 %

(C) Br mass % = $${{80} \over {172}} \times 100$$ = 46.51 %

(D) Br mass % = $${{80 \times 2} \over {252}} \times 100$$ = 63.49 %
