There are 3 baskets. one of them have apples, one has
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
label all the three baskets.

Answer Posted / mary

Sriharsha S M, that is incorrect.

If you pick from mixed and get orange then there are only
two solutions.

Label: MIXED APPLE ORANGE

Item: ORANGE MIXED APPLE *OR*
Item: ORANGE APPLE MIXED

Since the label is always a lie then the first is correct.
You do not need two picks just one. Now if there were 4
baskets or more then yes you would need more picsk
