    Solution

    ATQ, Quantity of cranberry juice in the mocktail, initially = 250 x 0.2 = 50 ml Quantity of apple juice in the mocktail, initially = 250 x 0.5 = 125 ml Quantity of ginger ale in the mocktail, initially = 250 - (50 + 125) = 250 - 175 = 75 ml Now, New quantity of cranberry juice = 50 + 30 = 80 ml New quantity of apple juice = 125 + 50 = 175 ml New quantity of ginger ale = 75 + 20 = 95 ml Required ratio = 80:175:95 = 16:35:19
