Solution

The correct options are
A dil. $H_{2} S O_{4}$
B cold,dil. $K M n O_{4} / O H^{-}$
C $B r_{2} - H_{2} O$
dil. $H_{2} S O_{4}$ absorbs alkene thus it can be used to distinguish between alkane and alkene,
Alkene dicolourise brown colour of $B r_{2} - H_{2} O$ solution and alkene decolourises the purple colour of cold, dil. alkaline $K M n O_{4}$ . Thus option A,B, and C are correct answer.
