Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The total ratio is 4.5 (orange juice) + 2.5 (ginger ale) + 1 (vodka) = 8. The ginger ale part is 2.5/8 of the total mix. If 2 litres of ginger ale represents 2.5 parts, then 1 part equals 2/2.5 = 0.8 litres. Therefore, orange juice (4.5 parts) should be 4.5 * 0.8 = 3.6 litres, and vodka (1 part) should be 1 * 0.8 = 0.8 litres.
