Show the Answer

Answer : 1 Fruit

The point to be noted here is that the labels of the jar are all mislabeled, that means the labels always lie. Now suppose we have the 3 jars as

Labels on the jar Orange Apple Mixed
Possible combination 1 Apple Mixed Orange
Possible combination 2 Mixed Orange Apple

Now take out a fruit from the Jar named mixed.

If it is an Orange, that jar is Orange and follows combination 1.
If it is an Apple, that jar is Apple and follows combination 2.
