there is another solution which give us more apples :
first , make 3 trips along 334 mile to point X. That give us 1998 apples in X. From X make two trips along 499 miles .This give us 1000 apples in point Y which is 167 miles from B. 1000 - 167 = 833 apples in B which is a little greater than 800 :)
