In this question. a statement is followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true and decide which of them logically follow(s) beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.

Statement:

Before leaving for college. Sita is learning to cook basic meals from her mother.

Conclusions:

I. Sita didn‘t know how to cook.

II. Sita wants to throw a party for her friends before leaving for college.

"Before leaving for college, Sita is learning to cook basic meals from her mother."

The statement mentions that Sita is learning to cook basic meals, which implies that she is acquiring this skill. It suggests that Sita might not have known how to cook earlier.

Therefore, Conclusion I follows.

There is no mention of Sita throwing a party or any related intention in the statement. The information given does not support this conclusion.

Therefore, Conclusion II does not follow.

Thus, correct option is (a).
