I used an excel sheet to solve this, just for visualisation.

Pick a fruit from 3rd box "APPLES and Oranges", If you get an Orange, Then move the 2nd box label "Oranges" to the 3rd box.

Now move the 1st box label APPLES to 2nd box, becoz that was also labelled incorrectly.

"Apples and Oranges" to 1st box.

6. You see a girl sitting down, then she gets up and leaves, but you can't sit in her place. Why?

1)It may be a "Ladies only" seat in a Bus.

2)If she is a stranger for me, Then how can I sit in "her place" ie her house ?.

3)It may be Receptionist/staff seat in hotel/hospital/any office etc.

Vijayan, True...

As it is stated all three boxes are labelled incorrectly, and that is the key to solving the puzzle. So we draw a fruit from the box labelled 'apple and oranges' and we will get either an apple or orange from it.

So if we get an orange, it will become orange box, so we now have two remaining boxes incorrectly labelled as apple and apple and oranges. We know that the apple box cannot be apple (as stated in the puzzle that it is labelled wrongly), nor can it be orange (as it has become known to us) it should by elimination be 'apple and oranges' and the third remaining box will become apple box.

Simple, but tricky.....

Answer to remaining puzzles :

3. A man was tossing and turning in the bed, unable to sleep. Then he took his phone, dialled a number, heard it ring a few times, kept the phone down, and then went to sleep. Why?
The man could not sleep because his neighbour/roommate/was snoring loudly and this was disturbing him. So he dials the neighbour's/roommate's number, to wake him up, and then keeps the phone down and goes to sleep.

6. You see a girl sitting down, then she gets up and leaves, but you can't sit in her place. Why?
Because the girl is sitting on your lap.
