1. Some wires are equipment. → True (As, All speakers are equipment and All equipment are wires → Some wires are equipment)
2. No speaker is wire. → False (As, All speakers are equipment and All equipment are wires → All speaker is wire)
3. Some speakers are not wires. → False (As, All speakers are equipment and All equipment are wires → All speaker is wire)
Hence, only conclusion 1 follows.
