$A$ sample of calcium carbonate has the following percentage composition: $Ca = 40 \%$,$C = 12 \%$,and $O = 48 \%$. According to the law of definite proportion,the weight of calcium in $4 \ g$ of a sample of calcium carbonate from another source will be (atomic weights: $Ca = 40, C = 12, O = 16$).

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 $P_2 Q$.

One part of an element $A$ combines with two parts of another element $B$. Six parts of the element $C$ combine with four parts of the element $B$. If $A$ and $C$ combine together,the ratio of their weights will be governed by
