Incorrect Labels

You are working in a store that stocks bangles. Three boxes of bangles have been incorrectly labeled. The labels say Red Bangles, Green Bangles and Red & Green Bangles. How can you re-label the boxes correctly, by taking just only one bangle from one box?

Answer:

Keep in mind that boxes are incorrectly labeled. Take out one bangle from the box labeled "Red & Green Bangles". There are 2 possibilities:

Case: 1. If that bangle is Red, it means that box contains Red Bangles. The box labeled as "Green Bangles" contains Red & Green Bangles. And box labeled "Red Bangles" contains Green bangless.

Case: 2. If that bangle is Green, it means that box contains Green Bangles. The box labeled as "Green Bangles" contains Red Bangles. And box labeled "Red Bangles" contains Red & Green Bangles.
