Directions to Solve
The logic problems in this set present you with three true statements: Fact 1, Fact 2, and Fact 3. Then, you are given three more statements (labeled I, II, and III), and you must determine which of these, if any, is also a fact. One or two of the statements could be true; all of the statements could be true; or none of the statements could be true. Choose your answer based solely on the information given in the first three facts.

It is specified that all drink mixes are beverages but it is not confirm that all the beverages are drink mixes. Hence only the 3rd statement is a fact.

Let's say drink mixes are cola. Since, all colas are beverages and all beverages are drinkable. But some beverages are red. Apple juice is also beverage. All colas and apple juices are beverages, and all beverages are drinkable.
But no cola is an apple juice so 1 is wrong. Not all beverage are cola, since apple juice is also a beverage, so 2 is wrong. All red drink mixes (a red cola or mirinda) are drinkable, hence 3 is right. So D is right. Best way to do it by drawing venn diagram, you would get a better understanding.

Every one here agrees that 3 is the right one. So lets not talk about it. The controversy here is about choice - one.
According to me,
If All Drink mixes are Beverages.
And Some beverages are red.
Possibility is - Yes some drink mixes can be red or may be not.
So since we are not sure if some drink mixes can be red, first choice can not be a fact (Actual Truth).
Even I got it wrong at the beginning then I understood.
Thank you.

Just an interesting question.
"All red drink mixes are drinkable".
Here, you are accepting that red drink mixes are possible.
Doesn't that make "Some drink mixes are red" true?

Dear I will tell you the reason.
They said "all drink mixes" are "beverages"., it doesn't mean all "beverages" are "drink mixes".
That is the reason statement 2 is wrong.
Ex: "all probability questions" comes under "maths subject".
Does it mean "maths subject" has only "probability questions" not right. It is just a part in maths.

All drink mixes are beverages. Then, all beverages must also be drink mixes. Why statement 2 is not correct?

Option B also can because most of beverages are mixed with something which induces appetite.
