If 20% is cranberry, 20% is raspberry, and the rest apple, then 60% is apple. So in the 750 mL, we have (60/100)(750) = 450 mL of apple juice. The ratio of the 250 mL of water to that 450 mL of apple juice is 250/450 = 25/45 = 5/9, which is answer D.

Apple juice in 750 ml of juice = 60% of 750 = 450 ml
Water = 250 ml
Ratio of water to apple juice in the drink = 250 : 450 = 5 : 9

Hence, OA is (D).

Given: A Drink contain 20% of cranberry juice, 20% raspberry juice and rest is apple juice. 250ml of water is added to 750ml of the juice.
Asked: What is the ratio of water to apple juice in the drink?

In 750 ml:
Apple Juice = (100%-20%-20%)*750 = 60%*750 = 450 ml

250 ml water is added
Ratio of water : apple juice = 250 : 450 = 5:9

IMO D

If there is 1.5 times as much sugar as fruit, then sugar and fruit are in a 1.5 to 1, or 3 to 2, ratio. So if there is twice as much flour as sugar, then the ratio of flour to sugar to fruit is 6 to 3 to 2. So 3/11 of the cake is sugar, and in grams, the answer is (3/11)(750), which doesn't work out cleanly (if this was a real GMAT question, they'd almost always be asking for an approximation here) but since 3*75 = 225, we have

(3/11)(750) = 2250/11 = 2200/11 + 50/11 = 200 + 4 + 6/11 = 204 + 6/11 = 204.5454...
