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

apple : orange : mango
3 :5 :4
after apple juice was added new ratio
5 :5 :4
now change in ratio of apple juice = (5-3)R= 2R
apple juice added = 8 ltr
2R = 8 ; R = 4
quantity before addition of apple juice = (3+5+4)R = 12R
12R = 48 ltr
initially 12 ltrs of mixture was taken out, therefore initial volume = 48+12 =60
