Solution

The correct options are
B
water and petrol

C
water and oil

Salt and alcohol completely dissolve in water, so there exists no physical boundary separating them. Therefore it is not possible to separate salt, alcohol from water using a funnel. Whereas oil and petrol are immiscible with water, so these can be separated using a funnel.
