Solution
Yes.
It is possible to separate a mixture of sugar and wheat flour.
This can be done by the process of sieving. If the mixture of sugar and wheat flour is allowed to pass through a sieve, then the fine wheat flour particles would pass through the sieve, the sugar particles would be retained by the sieve.
