      by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: All hands are leg. Some leg are arms. Some arms are knee. Conclusions: I. Some leg are hands. II. Some arms are leg. III. No arm is knee.
