Discussion Forum : Logical Problems - Type 4 (Q.No. 3)
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.

The 1st one is wrong because some beverages which are not drink mixes can be red. The second one is obvious.
Hence the third.
Hence the third.

Here it is given that in fact 1 "all drink mixes are beverages", it does not mean that all the beverages will only be drink mixes, there might be some beverages which are not drink mixes. Hence Statement II is false.
In Fact 3 it is given that "some beverages are red", it does not mean that those beverages would be only drink mixes, it may or may not be. Hence it is uncertain. So Statement I is false.
In Fact 2 it is given that "all beverages are drinkable", it means all drink mixes which were beverages and beverages which wee red and beverages themselves it means everything is drinkable. Hence Statement III is true which means all drink mixes which may be red are drinkable. Hence only Statement III is true. It would be easily understood when we use Venn diagrams.
In Fact 3 it is given that "some beverages are red", it does not mean that those beverages would be only drink mixes, it may or may not be. Hence it is uncertain. So Statement I is false.
In Fact 2 it is given that "all beverages are drinkable", it means all drink mixes which were beverages and beverages which wee red and beverages themselves it means everything is drinkable. Hence Statement III is true which means all drink mixes which may be red are drinkable. Hence only Statement III is true. It would be easily understood when we use Venn diagrams.

It is given that all drinks are drinkable and some are red which can also be mixable so isn't the answer 1 only.

Fact 1: All drink mixes are beverages : Here the mixes means for an eg we will take the mixes of fruit juice which is drinkable and called as beverages and could turn out to be any color.
Fact 2: All beverages are drinkable : So the mixes of juice are drinkable.
Fact 3: Some beverages are red : As we said it could turn out to be different color but some turn out to be red.
I: Some drink mixes are red : Yes agreed but it is uncertain.
II: All beverages are drink mixes : Not necessary.
III: All red drink mixes are drinkable : Yes it is drinkable thoe some may like some may not but it is drinkable.
Hope this may answer.

As per my opinion facts III is correct: As
Beverages are the subset of drinkable items.
Drink mixes are the subset of beverages.
Beverages may be red,orange, yellow, etc.
i.e. red beverages are the subset of beverages.
Statement 1: It may be true but not confirm because drink mixes are the subset of beverages and beverages may be red, orange, yellow, etc.
Statement 2: It is false because all drink mixes are beverages but all beverages may not be drink mixes.
Statement 3: It is true because all beverages are drinkable.
Beverages are the subset of drinkable items.
Drink mixes are the subset of beverages.
Beverages may be red,orange, yellow, etc.
i.e. red beverages are the subset of beverages.
Statement 1: It may be true but not confirm because drink mixes are the subset of beverages and beverages may be red, orange, yellow, etc.
Statement 2: It is false because all drink mixes are beverages but all beverages may not be drink mixes.
Statement 3: It is true because all beverages are drinkable.

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

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

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.

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?
