Which option gives a correct example and reason for a liquid in liquid solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ethanol in water, because both are liquids.
In a liquid-in-liquid solution, both the solute and the solvent are liquids. Ethanol is a liquid solute and water is a liquid solvent, so ethanol mixed uniformly with water is the required example. Salt in water is solid in liquid, soda water is gas in liquid because carbon dioxide dissolves in water, and brass is solid in solid. Thus option A correctly matches both states and the reason.
