Solution

The correct option is B

statement 1 and 2 are mixtures and 3 and 4 are compounds.


Mixtures – two or more substances that are not chemically combined with each other and can be separated by physical means. The substances in a mixture retain their individual properties. Mixtures have variable composition.
A new compound is formed when two or more elements are combined in fixed ratios. The new compound formed has entirely different properties from its constituent elements. They have a fixed melting and boiling point.
