Answer: C

Solution: 2A + B \rightarrow A_{2}BA and B will combine to make a product A_{2}B . The product A_{2}B is called compound and it will not have any property of elements A and B. The composition of elements in product will be fixed: If N moles of element A is present that means N/2 moles of element B will be present. This product will be pure. Hence statement (i), (iii) and (iv) are wrong statements.

Therefore the correct option of this question is option C.
