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 / sumeet

The example given by Subbu is incorrect as in the intial
status he forgot to take oranges in the basket.It should be
like this :
Suppose Initial status
Basket label: mixed apple orange
Item in basket: apple orange mixed

Now pick one item from basket labeled mixed then you will
get apple. So basket labeled apple must have orange and
basket labeled orange must have mixed. Now label according
to them.
