✓ Correct Answer: Option C Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

Logical Analysis

  • Conclusion I: "All mangoes are cheap." (Does not follow)

    The premises state that All mangoes are golden and No golden-coloured things are cheap. By combining these, we can deduce the exact opposite: no mangoes are cheap. Therefore, this conclusion is false.

  • Conclusion II: "Golden-coloured mangoes are not cheap." (Follows)

    This is a direct and valid conclusion. The premise "No golden-coloured things are cheap" applies to everything in that category. Since the first premise confirms that mangoes are indeed golden-coloured, it is necessarily true that they are not cheap.


Final Answer: The correct option is C. Only conclusion II follows.
