The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. Some cups are bottles → True (As all bottles are cups, so, some cups are bottles is also true.)
II. Some plates are cups → True (As all cups are plates, so, some plates are cups is also true.)
III. Some tables are plates → True (As some plates are tables, so, some tables are plates is also true.)
