    Depends.

    Did Jane take an apple from the only source of apples stated in the question; Johnny? If so then 2.

    Did Jane take one apple from a source not stated in the question. If so then 3.

    Has Jonny eaten any of his apples? If so then |3-n| where n is the number of apples Johnny has eaten.
