Open the box labeled "Apples and Oranges"

If there is an apple inside, you know there can ONLY be apples inside because it's improperly labeled already.

Now you also know that the box labeled "Apples" is incorrect as well because you have just found the proper apple box. Without looking in any other box, you know the box labeled "Oranges" is actually "Apples and Oranges" and the box labeled "Apples" is actually "Oranges".

If you have 3 boxes of fruit apples oranges and both They all have labels that are not right You pick 1 fruit from 1 box How can you label the boxes correctly?

You would choose to draw from the box labeled "Apples and Oranges"...Whatever fruit you draw is the fruit from that box. (you know this is the case because the boxes are mislabeled) You then proceed to relabel the box with "Apples" if that is what you drew. Then you relabel the original "Apples" box to "Oranges" and the original "Oranges" box to "Apples and Oranges".

Three boxes are labels apples oranges and apples and oranges you can only select one fruit from onle one box from which box should you pick and how will that help you to correctly label the ot?

I believe this question should also stipulate that the boxes are incorrectly labelled, then my solution works (I think)! It's easier if you number the boxes:- The box labelled the oranges is box no.1 " " " " apples " " " 2 " " " " apples & oranges is box no. 3 Now remembering that box no.1 is incorrectly labelled "oranges" Box no.2 is incorrectly labelled "apples" and Box no.3 is incorrectly labelled "apples & oranges". Take a sample from box no.3....if it is an apple, then box no.3 holds apples. Box no.2 labelled "apples" is wrong so this box must contain oranges and this leaves box no1 which must hold apples& oranges. This works in reverse (if you pick an orange from box no.3), so you always start with box no.3
