Tixo need not necessarily be yellow. As in t 2nd diagram only is it found to be intersecting with mangoes n yellow.
Also mangoes may be green. Tht ws my answer as well, but I guess we just have 2 relate our conclusion the question n not consider other facts.

Here is ans for this question. Just a simple logic.
Always "SOME+SOME" gives answer as = "Neither (i) nor (ii)".
Always "SOME+SOME" gives answer as = "Neither (i) nor (ii)".

By RAVAL'S notation Statements are M -Y and T - M and conclusions are M - G and T- Y. G is not present in the statement so M -G does not follow.We cannot link T - Y through common linking term M because we can deduce conclusion only when if common linking term multiplies i.e is in double letters,divides i.e become single letter from double letter or is in double letters in both statements

I had studied Raval's notation and now any syllogism problem is just as simple as ABC for me.
