All tin are silver.
Some silver are uranium.
No silver is iron.
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:
Conclusions:
I. Some tin are iron - False (Since all tin are silver, and no silver is iron, there can be no tin that is iron).
II. Some uranium are tin - False (While some silver are uranium, there's no direct or indirect relationship established that guarantees some uranium are also tin. It's possible that the uranium that are silver do not overlap with the tin which are also silver).
III. Some uranium is not iron - True (We know some silver are uranium, and no silver is iron. Therefore, the portion of uranium that is also silver cannot be iron. Hence, some uranium is not iron).
So, Only conclusion III follows.
