Solution

The correct option is B

For Statement B to be true Statement A has to be true


Since we know that elements of the same group have the same valency but it's not true the other way around. Since many elements of different groups have the same valency because valency varies from 0-4 and is similar from different groups. For example, valency of chlorine and sodium is the same but they don't lie in the same group.
