Explanation

Section 34 IPC (Common Intention) requires only 2+ persons and prior common intention. Section 149 IPC (Common Object) requires 5+ persons and common object (not necessarily prior intention). Statements (i) and (ii) correctly capture these differences. Statement (iii) is false - previous consent is required for Section 34 but not for Section 149. Statement (iv) is false - both sections create vicarious liability, not specific offences.
