Second sentence just says us that 1 mole of C contains 2 moles of carbon atoms and 6 moles of H atoms, and we don't really know whether O is present. Thus the formula of C is C2H6Ox.
Though reaction of B with hydrogen in presence of Ni forming C gives a clue that B was an alkene or alkyne, and C is an alkane, and C has no oxygens.
Moreover, alcohols are known to give up water in presence of sulfuric acid to form alkenes.
In this case, C is ethane C2H6, B is ethene C2H4 and A is ethyl alcohol C2H5OH.
