The easiest and shortest method is :

Take 2 Moles of BromoMethane 2(CH3Br) .

Carry out Wurtz Reaction(Joining of 2 or more Aliphatic Hydrocarbons forming a product containing even number of carbons. Also it causes removal of Br.)

Therefore Rxn Would be like :

2CH3Br -----------> C2H6 + Br2 (Wurtz Reaction)
