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

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.

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.

Its not necessary that some drink mixes are red. It might be the case that some drink mixes are red, but not necessarily. So, 1st statement is not true.

I will explain more: There are some beverages which are not drink mixes. So, it might be the case that all those beverages which are not drink mixes, are red. So, none of the drink mixes are red.
