Averaging an MVUE with an inefficient estimator

If T1T_1 is an MVUE of γ(θ)\gamma(\theta), θ∈Θ\theta\in\Theta and T2T_2 is any other unbiased estimator of γ(θ)\gamma(\theta) with efficiency e<1e<1, then which of the following is/are correct?

I. T=(T1+T2)/2T=(T_1+T_2)/2 is MVUE of γ(θ)\gamma(\theta)

II. Var⁡(T)=Var⁡(T1/4)\operatorname{Var}(T)=\operatorname{Var}(T_1/4)

III. TT cannot be MVUE for γ(θ)\gamma(\theta)

IV. TT is unbiased for γ(θ)\gamma(\theta)
