Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vinegar is a miscible solution of acetic acid and water (two polar liquids), whereas gasoline is a miscible solution of benzene, xylene, and some other substances (all nonpolar liquids). Oil and water are immiscible with each other because oil is nonpolar while water is polar.

Detailed explanation-2: -A miscible pair of liquids are those liquids that dissolve in each other forming a homogeneous mixuture. Alcohol in water and glycerine in water are examples of miscible pairs of liquids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Updated On: 27-06-2022 Miscible liquids: Ink and water, honey and water, milk and water. Immiscible liquids: Kerosene oil and water, petrol and water, mustard oil and water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Two substances are miscible if they mix in all proportions or concentrations to form a solution. In other words, it doesn’t matter whether you mix them equally or one component is present in a greater amount than the other. Two substances are immiscible if they don’t completely mix to form a solution.
