The first statement is not a known fact.
All beverages are not drink mixes. So, all the red beverages might not be drink mixes.
Hence, we are not certain that some drink mixes are red. No drink mixes might be red if all the red beverages are not drink mixes.
All beverages are not drink mixes. So, all the red beverages might not be drink mixes.
Hence, we are not certain that some drink mixes are red. No drink mixes might be red if all the red beverages are not drink mixes.

Statement III is right;.
Fact 1: All drink mixes = beverages;.
Fact 2: All beverages = drinkable.
According to this, all drink mixes = drinkable ===> regardless of the color. Therefore statement III (All red drink mixes are drinkable) is right.
Fact 1: All drink mixes = beverages;.
Fact 2: All beverages = drinkable.
According to this, all drink mixes = drinkable ===> regardless of the color. Therefore statement III (All red drink mixes are drinkable) is right.

The I and III statement should be the answer. Since all red drink mixes are drinkable so it could also fair to say that some drink mixes are red (and drinkable) which all refer all to beverages. I stand to be corrected>.

If all drink mixes are beverages then its not necessary that all beverages are drink mixes. So there may be some beverages which are not drink mixes and they may be red. so statement 1 is false. Correct me if I am wrong.

3. Since all Bev are drinkable then automatically some Red which is said to be Bev are drinkable!!

@Prithvi,
As per your answer (drink mix = Orange juice, not only I but also statement no. III is also wrong. How can an Orange juice be in red color? Only grape can be in red. I accept I is wrong and also III.

The name drink mixes indicates that it is drinkable. So, all red drink mixes are drinkable. All drink mixes are beverages. Some beverages (drink mixers) are red. Both I and III are correct.

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?

Statement 1 is incorrect.
E.G, suppose.
Drink mixes = orange juice,
Beverages have orange juice, grape juice, apple juice.
Now think and apply in current question.

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.
