Different companies will use different charts of accounts based on individual company need.

The general ledger contains all of the accounts that a company uses, along with detail of the balances in those accounts.

Explanation:

The above stated two statements are True.

If in a company there is no manufacturing and it only provides service, which requires no inventory, then it will not have inventory related accounts.

Accordingly if a company only do sales on current basis, that is no credit allowed, then it will not have accounts receivables account.

Further for the second statement:

The general ledger is basically the accumulative collection of all the accounts maintained, thus, it correctly states all the account balances with details

Therefore, only statement 1 and statement 3.
