Okay so 3 bottles (1 gallon carboys) have 5 cartons of apple juice and 500grams of brewing suagr how much would the abv be by guaging (if you can)

My other one is 5 cartons of apple juice, 500grams brewing sugar and 250grams of white table sugar)

and the last one is 5 cartons of apple juice and 1KG brewing sugar
 
No one can answer that without a bit more information. What is the volume of the juice cartons, and what is the sugar content of them? You'll be able to find that on the label
 
I can tell you treetop and Kirkland brand (from Costco) apple juice has an OG of ~ 1.050 with no sugar added. I just made 12 gallons.

But your best bet is to buy another carton and measure it. Then calculate the added fermentables.

Just looked it's 1litre per carton, ingredients apple concentrate and there's 113 grams of sugar per carton.
