Given below are two statements.

Statement : Some food are sweet. Some food are sour.

Conclusions : I. All foods are either sweet or sour.

II. Some sweets are sour.

Which of the conclusions follow from the given statements.

Solution

Correct Option: 4

From 'Some food are sweet' and 'Some food are sour', we cannot conclude all foods are either sweet or sour (other types may exist). We also cannot conclude some sweets are sour as the statements only relate food to sweet/sour, not sweet to sour directly. Neither conclusion follows.

Note: The chosen option 3 (Both I & II follow) is incorrect; the correct answer is option 4 (Neither I nor II follow).
