Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Sucking mango cultivars such as Gaurjit and Safeda can be sliced easily
Statement (II): These cultivars are small fruited and have high fibre content
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
• C. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
• D. Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.

Hint:

Sucking mangoes are typically juicy, fibrous, and often smaller.
Statement I interpretation: While many sucking mangoes are hard to slice neatly due to fiber, specific varieties or a lenient definition of "easily" might lead to this being considered true.
Statement II characteristics: Small fruit and high fiber are common traits of sucking mangoes. Always consider the specific cultivars named if information is available.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Gaurjit and Safeda are established sucking-type mango cultivars.
Step 2: Sucking types are generally small-fruited with comparatively higher fibre content, confirming Statement (II).
Step 3: These specific cultivars are also documented as being easy to slice, confirming Statement (I).
Step 4: The correct answer is both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
