Hi everybody, I hope you are all fine, a while ago a friend of mine asked me a riddle, however it was a little hard for me, I managed to solve it at last after allocating a great deal of time to it. Here is the riddle "we have three baskets, one of them contains apple, the other orange and the last one both orange and apple(a mixture of both). The baskets have three tags(orange, apple and mix) that were stuck on them wrongly, that is,the basket with orange tag dosn't contain orange and the other two baskets have wrong tags as well, at least with how many picking a fruit up without looking into the baskets we can find out which basket contains which fruit(one of the baskets has both fruits) and why?"

bcoz all the labels are wrong so if you find one of them out, the rest are discoverd as well, then its enough to pick up one fruit from mix basket and identify it, if your fruit is orange so the baskets label should be correct to orange, and orange label to apple and apple to mix, and if your fruit is apple, you should change the labels mix to apple, orange to mix and apple to orange...
