Solution
The correct option is C Statement 1 is not correct, but Statement 2 is correct. A with 7 valence electrons means valency =1
B with 2 valence electrons means valency =2
So compound formed should be A2B
B can donate its two electrons to the outermost shell of 2A atoms in order to fulfil their configuration.
