Answer 1

For the above question we will have to know about the meaning of the term “statement”. Statement is a sentence which is either true or false, it can not be both at one time. For example “ The square root of 5 is 4” is a mathematical statement (which is of course, false).

Complete step by step answer:
Now, we will check the given statement one by one which is shown as below,
1. May God bless you.
Clearly , we can see that the above sentence can not say either true or false. So, this is not a statement.
2. Mango is a flower.
We know that Mango is a fruit, so the above sentence is false which simply means that it is a statement.
3. Sugar is sweet.
We know that Sugar is sweet, so the above sentence is true which simply means that it is a statement.
4. 2 is a prime number.
We know that 2 is prime so, the above sentence is true which simply means that it is a statement.
Hence, the correct options are 2, 3, 4.

So, the correct answer is “Option D”.

Note: Just remember the meaning of “statement” very clearly , then the question will be easy for you. It doesn’t depend on true or false.
