10 people guessed three fruits as well as four fruits correctly. Both are same because if three fruits guessed correct, then fourth fruit too guessed correct only as its has no other choice. So number of people guessed 3 fruits correct are nothing but number of people guessed four fruits correctly.

It is not possible to guess only three fruits correctly. the fourth fruit is then correct too. So nobody has guessed three fruits correctly and 10 people have guessed four fruits correctly.
