Price discriminate maximizes joint profits

When a successful cartel which cannot price discriminate maximizes the joint profits of its members: (1) the marginal social benefits of additional output exceed the marginal social costs of output. (2) this is impossible for any consumer to gain without another consumer losing. (3) the industry is a decreasing cost industry. (4) each firm has the potential to turn into a natural monopoly. (5) each firm’s supply outweighs the demand for its output.

Can anybody suggest me the proper explanation for given problem regarding Economics generally?
