I think that there is also an another case in which all the instruments are flute from venn diagram then why you leave this condition.

A statement can convert into A2 statement to S2 statement. So can convert into all flutes are harmoniums.
Then both 1 and 2 follows.
Then both 1 and 2 follows.

Let flutes be x, harmonium be y and instruments be z.
Therefore all y = z, all z = x.
Hence, all the harmoniums are flutes.
Therefore all y = z, all z = x.
Hence, all the harmoniums are flutes.

See inner (means down to up) to outer all + some both are follows. But outer (means up to down) only follows some.

The answer is A. Because second statement is invalid. All fruits are harmoniums but not all harmonium are fruits.

flutes=x
instruments=y
harmonium=z
all x=all y (1)
all y=all z (2)
so,all x=all z
all harmoniums are flutes
instruments=y
harmonium=z
all x=all y (1)
all y=all z (2)
so,all x=all z
all harmoniums are flutes
