Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I - Toddy is made by fermenting fleshy pedicels of cashews nuts.
Statement II - Fenny is made by fermenting the sugar sap extracted from palm plants and coconut palm.
In light of above statements, select the correct answer from the option given below.

• A. Both statement I and statement II are correct.
• B. Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.
• C. Statement I is correct and statement II is incorrect.
• D. Statement I is incorrect and statement II is correct.

Hint:

Remember: Toddy $\rightarrow$ Palm sap fermentation
Fenny $\rightarrow$ Cashew apple (distilled drink)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Fermented beverages are produced by microbial action on sugars from different plant sources.
• Toddy: Prepared by fermenting sugar-rich sap extracted from palm trees (e.g., coconut palm, date palm).
• Fenny: A distilled alcoholic beverage made from cashew apple juice or coconut sap (Goa).

Step 1: Analyze Statement I.
Toddy is not made from cashew pedicels; it is made from palm sap. Hence, Statement I is incorrect.

Step 2: Analyze Statement II.
Fenny is not primarily made from palm sap fermentation (that is toddy); instead it is produced from cashew apple juice (and later distilled). Hence, Statement II is incorrect.

Step 3: Conclusion.
Both statements are incorrect. Final Answer: Option (B)
