Detailed Solution

Li and NH₃
The metal ‘M’ forms nitride M3N. Since N has valency 3, metal ‘M’ has valence 1. Hence, ‘M’ can be either Li or Na. So we can rule out Ba and Al.

M₃N reacts with water to produce gas ‘B’. This is given by Li
Li₃N+3H₂O→3LiOH+NH₃
Thus, gas ‘B’ is ammonia

Ammonia reacts with aqueous CuSO₄ solution to form deep blue compound [Cu(NH₃)₄]SO₄
NH₃+CuSO₄→[Cu(NH₃)₄]SO₄
