Solution

The correct option is A X = Husk
Y = Paddy
In wheat flour, flour is the wanted component while husk X is the unwanted component. The method used will be sieving which is a method of separation of particles from a mixture based on the difference in the size of particles.
When paddy Y stalks are beaten on a stone, the grain seeds separate from their stalks. The method used will be threshing which is a process of separation of grain from the stalk on which it develops and from the chaff or unit that covers it.
