    Correct answer
  4. d.

    Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Answer is (c). Let's focus on maximizing the number of Indian vegetarians. Out of the 70 Indians, all 60 vegetarians can be considered Indian. This leaves at least 10 Indians who are non-vegetarians. The number of non-vegetarian Indians can increase based on the total number of vegetarian Indians. Now, let's aim to minimize the number of Indian vegetarians. To achieve this, we need to maximize the number of non-Indian vegetarians. Out of the 30 non-Indians, all can be vegetarians, leaving 30 vegetarians. However, these 30 vegetarians still fall under the Indian category. Therefore, there will be at least 30 Indians who are vegetarians. Hence, both statements are correct.
