There are three boxes. One is labeled "APPLES" another is labeled "ORANGES". The last one is labeled "APPLES AND ORANGES". You know that each is labeled incorrectly. You may ask me to pick one fruit from one box which you choose.
How can you label the boxes correctly?

    Pick one from the box 3 named apples & oranges.

    You will find either of these , name the box accordingly...

    Change the names of the other two boxes as they are said to be incorrect in the question.

    Here is my solution:

    Pick a fruit from box "Apple and Orange".

    If the fruit is Apple:
    Apple and Orange -> Apple
    Orange -> Apple and Orange
    Apple -> Orange

    If the fruit is Orange:
    Apple and Orange -> Orange
    Orange -> Apple
    Apple -> Apple and Orange

    Actually,in that puzzle there are three boxes and they are named incorrectly and you have to name them correctly.You will be given only one chance to open any one of the boxes and pick up any one fruit,with that one fruit taken out you should find the names of all the boxes correctly.

    Hope i have made it clear.
