    B Only I and II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only I and III follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    No cube is a cuboid(E) + Some cuboids are cones.  (I) Some cones are not cubes (O*).  Hence conclusion I does not follow. All cones are quadrilaterals. (A)  [Probable conclusion] All quadrilaterals may be cones. (A). Hence conclusion II follows. Some cuboids are cones. (I) + All cones are quadrilaterals. (A)  Some cuboids are quadrilaterals. (I). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
