Wheat flour, sugar crystals and husk.

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.
