I think you might be asking "How many fruit must be selected to be sure you have selected at least one of each kind?"
There are 4 apples, 2 bananas and 3 coconuts with 9 fruit total.
You must select 8 to be sure you have one of each kind. If you only select 7 you might have 4 apples and 3 coconuts.
