Consider the following Statement-I $\quad:$ Both $\mathrm{BeSO}_4$ and $\mathrm{MgSO}_4$ are readily soluble in water. Statement-II $\quad$ : Among the nitrates of alkaline earth metals, only $\mathrm{Be}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_2$ on strong heating gives its oxide, $\mathrm{NO}_2$ and $\mathrm{O}_2$. The correct answer is

• A

  Both Statement-I and statement-II are correct
• Correct answer
  B

  Statement-I is correct, but statement-II is not correct
• C

  Statement-I is not correct, but statement-II is correct
• D

  Both statement-I and statement-II are not correct

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
