Statements: Some Football are Cricket. Some Hockey are Cricket. No Cricket is Handball. Conclusions: I. No Football is Handball. II. Some Football are Hockey. III. Some Hockey are Handball.

Some Hockey are Cricket (I) + No Cricket is Handball (E) → Some Hockey are not Handball (O). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
