A compound "X", upon reaction with H₂O, produces a colourless gas "Y" with a rotten fish smell.  Gas 'Y' is absorbed in a solution of CuSO₄ to give Cu₃P₂ as one of the products. The compound 'X' will be:

1. Ca₃P₂

2. ${\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}$

3. ${\mathrm{As}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_3$

4. Ca₃(PO₄)₂

Those having the same number of lone pairs on Xe are

1. (i) and (ii) only

2. (i) and (iii) only

3. (ii) and (iii) only

4. (i), (ii) and (iii) only
