Correct Answer: All of the conclusions follow


Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: No table is a chair – Because there is a direct negative relation between bed and chair and the table is a part of the bed, therefore, this conclusion is true.
Conclusion II: No cupboard is a table – Because there is a direct negative relation between bed and cupboard and the table is a part of the bed, therefore, this conclusion is true.
Conclusion III: Some beds are tables – From the Venn diagram, the circle of the table is completely inside the circle of the bed. Therefore, this conclusion is true.

So, all of the conclusions follow. Hence, the third option is correct.
