Boxes full of Fruits
There are three boxes containing fruits. The first box is marked peaches, the second is marked oranges, and the third box is marked peaches and oranges. Each of the boxes is labeled incorrectly. How could you label each box correctly if you were allowed to select only one fruit from one of the boxes?
Select a fruit from the box with the label “Peaches and Oranges”.
Case 1: If it is an orange, then the box with the label “Oranges” contains peaches (because peaches can’t be in the box labeled “Peaches”) and the box with the label “Peaches” will contain peaches and oranges.
Case 2: If it is a peach, then the box with the label “Peaches” contains oranges (because oranges can’t be in the box labeled “Oranges”) and the box with the label “Oranges” will contain peaches and oranges.
