Statistical Inference — properties of the likelihood ratio

Consider the following statements regarding likelihood ratio tests: I. For a given size α\alpha of a test, the non-randomized Neyman-Pearson and likelihood ratio tests of a simple hypothesis against a simple alternative hypothesis are equivalent. II. The likelihood ratio λ\lambda always lies between 0 and 1. III. For testing a null hypothesis against any alternative hypothesis, the likelihood ratio test is a function of every sufficient statistic for θ\theta. IV. If λ\lambda is the likelihood ratio, then the asymptotic distribution of −2ln⁡λ-2\ln\lambda is normal with mean 0 and variance 1. Which of the statements given above are correct?
