Detailed Solution

Cornflakes in milk are separated using the filtration method.
Filtration is a method which is used to separate insoluble solids from a liquid. Oil and water are both liquids, so they cannot be separated by filtration. Sugar and salt are soluble in milk and water so, filtration cannot be used. But cornflakes are not soluble in milk so they can be separated by using filtration. When the mixture is passed through a filter paper, the cornflakes will be retained on the filter paper and the milk will pass through the filter paper and get collected. Hence, cornflakes from milk can be separated by the method of filtration.
