Correct answer
Some fruits may not be apples.
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Statement: All apples are fruits. Some fruits are sour.
I. Some fruits may not be apples - True (Because only "some" fruits are mentioned as sour, and there is no restriction that all fruits are apples).
II. Some apples are not fruits - False (All apples are fruits as given in the statement).
III. All sour things are fruits - False (Statement only mentions some fruits are sour, not all sour things).
IV. All apples are sour - False (Nothing in the statement indicates apples are sour).
Hence, only conclusion I follows.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 1".
