    Solution

    Only a few plate is saucer (I) + Some saucer are spoon (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. No cup is plate (E) + Only a few plate is saucer (I) → Some saucer are not cup (O*) → Probable conclusion → All cup may be saucer (A). Hence conclusion II does not follow. Some saucer is spoon (I) + All spoon are juicer (A) → Some saucer are juicer (I) → Conversion → Some juicer are saucer (I) + Some saucer are not cup (O*) → Probable conclusion → Some cup may be juicer (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
