From the given statements, we can draw the inference:

The employed members of Mohan`s family are honest.

This inference can be drawn based on the statements II and III. Statement II states that "Some members of Mohan`s family are not employed," which means there are members who are employed. Statement III states that "Some employed persons are not honest," which implies that there are employed members who are honest. Therefore, we can conclude that the employed members of Mohan`s family are honest.
