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.

It makes no difference which box you choose.
Three boxes are incorrectly labelled, say

Box 1 Apples (A)
Box 2 Oranges (O)
Box 3 Apples and Oranges (M)

so the actual contents of each must be either of

Box 1 O or M
Box 2 A or M
Box 3 A or O

Choose any box, say box 1. If you get an apple, box 1
cannot be O and so must be M.
logically, if box 1 is M, box 2 cannot be M and must be A
and if box 2 is A, Box 3 must be O.

On the other hand, if box 1 produces and orange, the result
would be the same, Box 1=M, box 2=A and box 3=O.

Box 1,
