Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows


Solution : As per the given information, let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): All mangoes are cheap – Based on the given statements, it is given no golden-coloured things are cheap and all mangoes are golden in colour. Therefore, from this, it can be inferred that no mangoes are cheap. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): Golden-colored mangoes are not cheap – Based on the given statements, it is given no golden-coloured things are cheap and all mangoes are golden in colour. Therefore, from this, it can be inferred that golden-coloured mangoes are not cheap. Thus, this conclusion follows.

So, only the conclusion II follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
