.
According to the condition,  25 liters of this blended juice must contain  5 equal volumes of the mango juice  plus
4  equal volumes of the orange juice  plus  1  (equal)  volume of distilled water.

In all,  there are 5 + 4 + 1 = 10 equal volumes,  each of  25%2F10 = 2.5  liters.

So,  the blended juice must contain  4*2.5 = 10  liters  of orange juice.


Solved.
