Solution

Logical reasoning:

The quantity of Beverages present at the store ;

Soda = 2000ml = 2L

Apple Juice = 2.5L

Fruit Punch = 1.5L

Lemonade = 2L

We have to buy exactly 10 liters but it should be at least one container of each beverage.

Soda + Apple juice + Fruit Punch + Lemonade = 8L

So we need 2 L more.

The only way of doing this is by either having 2 container of soda or 2 container of lemonade.

Therefore

The combination of beverages she can purchased;

Soda = 2 container

Apple juice = 1 container

Fruit punch= 1 container

Lemonade = 1 container
