incorrectly.
All you need to do is pick one fruit from the one marked "Apples +
Oranges".
If it's Apple, then change "Apple + Orange" to "Apple"
The "Apple" one change to "Orange"
The "Orange one change to

1st Make 1 Horizontal Cut
then 1Vertical Cut these 2 Cut can be done in reverse order
finally now we have 4 piece of cake arrange these 4 piece in to an one
Queue then make a horizontal cut that goes from center of all the
above 4 piece of cake
we have done
Thanks & Regards
