Position deviation is observed when ethanol and water are mixed , it must have a compound which is lacking hydrogen bond and a compound which has hydrogen bond."
This is because the compound not having a hydrogen bond breaks the hydrogen bond of the other compound.

A positive deviation is observed.
Hydrogen bonds exist among the molecules of ethanol (i.e., strong forces).
When cyclohexane is added to ethanol, the cyclohexane molecule will come in between the ethanol molecules and disturb the hydrogen bondings. The forces between ethanol and cyclohexane will be weaker than the previous forces (H-bonding), hence there will be positive deviation.
