Explanation

Statement 1: Mangoes cost more than apples.  

Statement 2: Mangoes cost less than apples.

These two statements contradict each other — both cannot be true at the same time.

So if both are claimed to be true, we cannot trust the information.

Statement 3: Peaches cost more than Apples and Mangoes.

But since we don't know the actual relation between Mangoes and Apples (because 1 and 2 contradict), we can’t determine if statement 3 is true or false.

Explanation

Look closely at Set A:

1. All shapes are geometric (circle, pentagon, triangle, hexagon).

2. Each shape is divided into 3 parts using straight white lines.

   - Circle: 3 equal sectors

   - Pentagon: 3 segments

   - Triangle: 3 segments

   - Hexagon: 3 segments

There is a clear pattern:  

Different shapes, but always divided into 3 parts.

Explanation

Set A shows shapes divided into exactly 3 parts using white lines.

- Circle → 3 parts  

- Pentagon → 3 parts  

- Triangle → 3 parts  

- Hexagon → 3 parts  

This shows consistency in pattern.

Set B, however, has:

- Triangle → 4 parts  

- Others with 2, 3, or more divisions (not consistent)  

- Different logic in division

So, Set A follows a clear, consistent rule.
