Solution

For separating husk from the mixture, we should follow the winnowing method as husk is lighter than other two components. Husk being lighter is carried away by wind.

Wheat flour and sugar crystals can be separated by sieving as they have different sizes. Flour being finer passes through the sieve, whereas sugar crystals remain on the sieve.
