The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements:

qImage11665

Conclusions:
I. Some coats being golds is a possibility → Follow → If the number of golds is equal to the number of tables then the conclusion 'Some coats are golds' follows.

II. No gold is a mirror → Follow → We have 'No table is a mirror' and 'All golds are tables' we can clearly see that no gold can be mirror therefore the conclusion follows.

III. All tables are golds → Does not follow → We do not have any information about all tables and thus we cannot assume for all tables so the conclusion does not follow.

IV. No coat is a mirror → Does not follow → No information is provided between coats & mirrors, we cannot rule out the possibility that some coats are mirror thus the conclusion does not follow.

So only conclusions I and II follow. 

Hence, the correct answer is "option 3".
