Solution

The correct option is B Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true and statement-2 is NOT the correct explanation for statement-1
B and C from their stable halides as BX3 and CX4, while Tl and Pb produce their stable halides as TiX and PbX2. Also both PbX4 and TlX3 are strong oxidizing agent. Due to inert pair effect, the +2 oxidation state of Pb is more stable than +4 oxidation state. Hence, +2 oxidation state is the stable oxidation state and +4 oxidation state acts as strong oxidizing agent.
Pb4++2ePb2+
Pb2+>Pb4+
Similarly, due to inert pair effect, the +1 oxidation state of Ti is more stable than +3 oxidation state. Hence, +1 oxidation state is the stable oxidation state and +3 oxidation state acts as strong oxidizing agent.
Tl3++2eTl+
Tl+>Tl3+ (due to inert pair effect).
Hence, statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true and statement-2 is NOT the correct explanation for statement-1
