Some mangoes are green possible because all mangoes are not yellow.
It is not necessary all tixo is yellow (may be green) because some are yellow not all yellow.
So statement 1 is true.
So answer should be A.

Some + Some = No conclusion. So neither 1 nor 2 follows.
Some mangoes are green i.e. all green are not mangoes but green is shaded with tixo and mangoes.

It's Simple.
1) Some mangoes are green.
They have not mentioned about "Green" in Statements - So 1st conclusion is failed.
2) Tixo is Yellow.
We have to look on 1st and 2nd statement together but "Some + Some = No Conclusion". So 2nd conclusion also failed.
Hence, Neither 1 nor 2 follows.

@All,
You guys are missing the point, a third diagram is possibly right, where tixo covers all of yellow and a part of mangoes.
