oranges only and the other has mixture of apples and
oranges. The labels on their baskets always lie. (i.e. if
the label says oranges, you are sure that it doesn't have
oranges only,it could be a mixture) The task is to pick one
basket and pick only one fruit from it and then correctly

Answer / sandeep
Let the Initial status be
Basket label: mixed apple orange
Item in basket: apple orange mixed
Choose MIXED labelled basket,you found apple so label this
basket as APPLE . Now go to ORANGE labelled basket as we
know it should not contain oranges and we already found
apple from MIXTURE basket, so the remaining is mixed(apples
and oranges) so label it as MIXED and label the remaining as
ORANGE basket...

Answer / sriharsha s m
Suppose Initial status
Basket label: MIXED APPLE ORANGE
Now pick one item from basket labeled as MIXED, as per the
problem it may be either apple or orange
case 1: If it is orange,then
subcase 1:ORANGE must have either of apple or mixed and
APPLE must have orange
subcase 2:ORANGE must have apple and APPLE must have mixed
simillarly for the case if it is apple
so it requires a minimum of two picks tell correcly......

Answer / harmanjit singh
first basket have = only apples (so label it apples)
second basket have = only oranges (so label it oranges)
third basket have = both (let it have one apple and one
orange when you pick only one fruit.If it is apple then it's
label is orange and if it is orange then it's label apple.)

Answer / subbu
Assume that all the labels are misplaced.
Suppose Initial status
Basket lebel: mixed apple orange
Item in basket: apple mixed apple
Now pick one item from basket labeled mixed then you will
get apple. So basket labeled apple must have mixed and
basket labeled orange must have apple. Now label according
to them.

Answer / nicholas namefield
There is no answer. Yes, start with the mixed basket.
However, if you pull either an apple or an orange from that
basket, you still don't know if it was mixed or not. This
is an impossible question with no answer, only optimistic
guesses.
