Answer / nitinbhatia2211
Lets Say Basket as B1, B2, B3 labelled Apple, Orange and
Apple&Orange respectively.
As all the Baskets have wrong labels, we are sure for one
thing that Basket B3 doesn't contain Apples&Orange So we
will first take out the fruit from it. Suppose its Apple
then surely B3 will get its real label i.e. Apple.
And as again we know that the all baskets were wrongly
labelled... interchange the labels of basket B2 and B1.
So finally we have B1, B2 and B3 containing Orange,
Apple&Orange and Apple respectively.
Therefore the least no of ways to find out the correct
labels is ONE only.

Answer / anoop
Beside answer 3, following is one more alternative:
Let the 3 baskets with labels A,O,M.
Interchange labels of any 2 baskets. (assume that u
interchanged lables of A & O)
Now see (or take out) the fruits of either of the baskets
with changed labels (A & O).
There wud be 2 cases:
1. This basket(the one of which u saw (or took out) the
fruits) has fruits not conforming to the label.
2. This basket(the one of which u saw (or took out) the
fruits) has fruits conforming to the label.
If (1) is true,just interchange its label with the third
untouched basket (basket with label M).
If (2) is true, just interchange label of other basket with
the third untouched basket (basket with label M).
Idea is : Just one interchange of labels of any 2 basket
will fix one basket with correct label. In second step you

all 3 with the right labels.

Answer / soumava bose
suppose B1,B2,& B3 care the baskets.Now we will first open
B1.suppose it contains Oranges.Then its level would be
either Appale or Combination.Now suppose The lebel is
combination.Now the basket with lebel orange is
interchanged with it.As initially all baskets had wrong
lebels.so the basket with lebel appale must have either
orange or combination.so now we interchange the two lebels
of the remaining baskets & get the proper answer.
