4 Mugs Puzzle

Puzzle Problem:
     There are 4 mugs placed upturned on the table.
Each mug have the same number of marbles and a statement about the number of marbles in it. 
The statements are: 
Mug 1 : Two or Three
Mug 2: One or Four
Mug 3: Three or One
Mug 4: One or Two.

Only one of the statement is correct. How many marbles are there under each mug?

Answer:


As it is given that only one of the four statement is correct , the correct number can not appear in more than one statement. It it appears in more than one statement , then more than one statement will be correct.
