hortence has a problem. sitting on the warehouse floor are three boxes. One of the boxes contain cherries, one contains bananas and the third contains both. the problem is that each of the boxes are labeled incorrectly.
1. how can she label each box correctly if she is only allowed to select only one fruit from only one box?
 
Select a fruit from the box marked as Cherries + Bananas. If it is a Cherries, then that box contain only Cherries (since it cant be Cherries + Bananas or the banana box would be marked correct), the box marked as Cherries contains Bananas, and the box marked as Banana contains both Bananas and Cherries.

Similarly select a fruit from the box marked as Cherries + Bananas. If it is a Banana, then
that box contain only bananas, the box marked as Bananas contains Cherries, and the box marked as Cherries contain both Bananas and Cherries
