Three statements are followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true even if they do not conform to real-world knowledge, decide which of the conclusion(s) logically follows/follow from the statements. Statements: 1. No cup is a plate. 2. All plates are cutleries. 3. No cutlery is a spoon. Conclusions: I. Some cutleries are plates. II. No cutlery is a cup. III. Some spoons being cups is a possibility

I) Some cutleries are plates → Follow → As all plates are cutleries, So some cutleries are plates is true.
II) No cutlery is a cup → Does not follow → As no cup is a plate and All plates are cutleries, So some part of cutlery is a cup is possibility but not definitely true.
III) Some spoons being cups is a possibility → Follow → According to Venn diagram. As no cutlery is a spoon but some spoons being cups it is a possibility.
