She bought two green apples and a red one.

Thanks. What if we want to say something where the sequence of the objects concerned is important, eg:

"He won three gold, two silver and one bronze medal(s) in the competition."

Should there be an "s"? Please help. Thanks!

Thank you!

Both are fine, though I suggest using the first one, as it appears more natural for everyday conversation. In certain context, the second might seem better - I leave it to the occasion.

She bought two green and one red apple.
She bought two green apples and a red one.

I prefer the second. Also, why not re-order the nouns to sound better: She one a bronze, a silver and two gold medals.

Yes, of:
"She bought two green and one red apple." and
"She bought two green apples and a red one."
the second sounds better. Of the original question the first sounds better.

Generally medals are listed from gold down. So why not reorder it to:
"She one two gold medals, one silver, and one bronze." (Yes, you'd have to use the right intonation if you were speaking this).
