The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the statements and the conclusions logically. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Statements:** - Statement 1: "All mangoes are golden in colour." - This means that every mango falls within the category of golden-coloured things. - Statement 2: "No golden-coloured things are cheap." - This indicates that anything that is golden in colour cannot be classified as cheap. 2. **Analyzing Conclusion 1: "All mangoes are cheap."** - Since all mangoes are golden in colour (from Statement 1), and no golden-coloured things are cheap (from Statement 2), it follows that mangoes cannot be cheap. - Therefore, Conclusion 1 is **false**. 3. **Analyzing Conclusion 2: "Golden-coloured mangoes are not cheap."** - Since all mangoes are golden in colour, and we know from Statement 2 that no golden-coloured things are cheap, it follows that golden-coloured mangoes (which are all mangoes) are also not cheap. - Therefore, Conclusion 2 is **true**. 4. **Final Decision:** - From our analysis, we conclude that only Conclusion 2 follows from the given statements. ### Summary of Conclusions: - Conclusion 1: False - Conclusion 2: True ### Final Answer: Only Conclusion 2 follows. ---
