Solution

The correct option is D Statement-1 and statement-2 are correct but statement-3 is incorrect
A mixture is a substance which consists of two or more elements or compounds that are not chemically combined together. It has a variable composition.
The constituents in a mixture can be present in any proportion by mass.
On heating a mixture of iron filings and sulphur powder, a black coloured compound of iron sulphide (FeS) is formed.
Therefore, out of the three statements, only statements-3 is incorrect.
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
