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

Hence the third.

Right, the option E should be the answer, else conclusion 1 and 3 are contradictory and there is no option for neither nor.

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

If (III) is correct then I also think I is correct because it gives us more information on the red drink mixes.

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

All drinks mixes are beverages.
Some beverages are red.
Drink able red beverages = red drink mixes.

It is not necessary that all drinks are red. It can be understood clearly by making Venn diagrams.

If (III) is correct, then (I) becomes correct automatically. Hence answer must be I & III.

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

As all beverages are not drink mixes so the correct option is(d).
