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 / 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.)
