NOT THE MUGS'N BALLS TRICK AGAIN!

The Lodge was decided to support a local Charity, so they put on a stall to raise funds. "A prize for guessing the number of balls under the mugs," shouted the Worshipful Master, as he placed four upturned mugs on the counter in front of him.

Each concealed the same number of balls and on each mug was a statement about the number of balls underneath : One or four; Two or four; Two or three; One or two.

Only one of the statements was correct.

How many balls were under a mug and which statement is true?
