In this question fist find the number of moles of B and H in the compound
moles of B = 5.94/ 10 ≈ 0.6
Hydrogen = 1.8/1 = 1.8 ..
so the ratio is 1:3 ..so the hydride wud be like B2H6 or BH3 ..
but in the question we are asked emperical formula so it shud be BH3

obviously the empirical formula is BH3 as in accordance with govind's working.we cannot say anything about mol formula unless mol wt or vapour density etc are given.
