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.
3.
| Fact 1: | All drink mixes are beverages. |
| Fact 2: | All beverages are drinkable. |
| Fact 3: | Some beverages are red. |
| I: | Some drink mixes are red. |
| II: | All beverages are drink mixes. |
| III: | All red drink mixes are drinkable. |

Answer should be option (E) - None of the statements is a known fact.
Explanation :
First you draw 3 concyclic circles, innermost for drink mix, middle one for beverages and outer for drinkable. Then one more circle intersecting outer two circles(Drinkable and Beverages) but not innermost circle(Drink mix) as the statement 3 says only some beverages(need not drink mix) are red. So some beverages surely including some drinkable may not include drink mix.

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

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

First you draw 3 concyclic circles innermost for drink mix, middle one for beverages and outer for drinkable.
1.1st option is wrong because lets take two more small circles one intersect all circle, and other intersecting only beverages and drinkable so by this diagram its clear that there are two cases for 1st option so it can not be a answer.
2. Second option is clearly wrong.
3. Third option is true because when you draw a circle intersecting drink mix i.e. is inner one it is always come under drinkable.
And most important don't mix 1, 2, 3 statement take it separately and try to find answer by this method.

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

@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.

1 draw circle as drink mixes come under beverage and beverage come under drinkable.As some beverages are red so this new circle come under drinkable touching beverages circle.now see
2according to first fact drink mixes may be red but not confirm.
3all beverage can't be drinkable it is reverse so it is wrong
4 all red drink mixes come under drinkable so it is true.

3all beverage can't be drinkable it is reverse so it is wrong
4 all red drink mixes come under drinkable so it is true.

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