"SOME or All educated are married"- Both can be implied. So conclusion II doesn't follow in particular.

All men are married implies a universal set. Some men are educated implies the 'SOME' belong to 'ALL' only. One cannot consider partial part of 'SOME' outside 'ALL'.
Hence 'All educated are married' can be a conclusion and therefore statement II doesn't follow.
Hence 'All educated are married' can be a conclusion and therefore statement II doesn't follow.
