UMVUE of the rate parameter of a gamma family

Let X1,X2,…,XnX_1,X_2,…,X_n be a random sample from a distribution with the probability density function

f(x;θ)={θ2xe−θx,x>0, 0,otherwise,f(x;\theta)=\begin{cases}\theta^2xe^{-\theta x}, & x>0,\ 0, & \text{otherwise,}\end{cases}

where θ>0\theta>0 is the unknown parameter. If Y=∑i=1nXiY=\sum_{i=1}^nX_i, then which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?
