Dear Student,
Refer this solution given below,

Apple Orange Mango

Initial 3x 5x 4x

When taking out 12 litres , it will be deducted in ratio of 3:5:4


Now 3x - 3 5x - 5 4x - 4

After adding 8 litres of apple juice

New ratio 3x - 3 + 8 5x - 5 4x - 4

Given apple juice = orange juice
3x+5 = 5x-5
Therefore , x = 5
Initial mixture , (3x+5x+4x) = 12x= 12*5 = 60 litres

Thanks and Regards
