Answer & solution
- A

The proof of the pudding is in the eating!
The statement says that the adequacy of the ingredients in a recipe can be known only after consuming the final product.
Option 1 already considers the ingredients to be adequate and does not rely on the final product. So, eliminate option 1.
Option 2 implies 'a child grows up to be similar to its parents' and is unrelated to the given statement.
Option 3 indicates a definite happy ending and contradicts the given statement which is uncertain about the outcome.
Option 4 links the behaviour of the man with the results he receive and is not relevant to the given statement.
Option 5 suggests that you cannot judge something until you have tried it and is analogous tot he given statement.
Hence, the correct answer is option 5.
