Conclusions:
I. Some carrots are radish → Follow (As some carrots are onions, all onions are potatoes and all potatoes are radish. As some part of carrots is common with onions which whole comes in potatoes which whole comes in radish, therefore some carrots are radish is true.)
II. All onions are radish → Follow (As all onions are potatoes and all potatoes are radish. As some part of carrots is common with onions which whole comes in potatoes which whole comes in radish, therefore all onions are radish is true.)
III. No carrot is a potato → Does not follow (As some carrots are onions and all onions are potatoes. As no direct relation is given between carrot and potato, therefore no carrot is potato is false.)
