Solution
(a) A mixture is a combination of two or more substances, which do not react with each other. Examples: sugar and water, sugar and sand, etc.
(b) (i) Homogenous mixtures: When two or more substances combine physically in a fixed ratio or a uniform composition, it is known as a homogeneous mixture. The homogenous mixture has no visible boundaries of separation. For e.g. Salt and water, sugar and water, etc.
(ii) Heterogeneous mixtures: When two or more substances combine in a non-uniform proportion, it is known as a heterogeneous mixture. It has visible boundaries of separation. For e.g. sand and water, oil and water, etc.
