I m not feeling comfortable with this answer. I think common salt also can be soluble in water?

Sugar (sucrose) contains hydroxyl groups that make hydrogen bonds with the solvent (water) , enhancing its solubility over the non-hydrogen-bonding sodium and chloride ions.

Why the sugar is more soluble than salt give me the answer in a simple way how?

aCl: Water solubility 359 g/L.
Sugar (sucrose) : Water solubility 2000 g/L.
However, if we look at this on a molar basis:
NaCl: Water solubility 359 g/L.
(359 g/L)/(58.44 g/mol) = 6.4 moles/L.
Sugar (sucrose) : Water solubility (2000 g/L).
(2000 g/L)/(342.30 g/mol) = 5.84 moles/L.
So on a molar basis, the solubility are close and one might conclude that the apparent difference lies in the difference in molar masses.
Therefore, SUGAR.

No, it was wrong. Answer is common salt.

I am satisfied because salt can be remove by boiling but sugar mix in water and cannot be separated.

I think salt is also very soluble.

Salt is more soluble than sugar.

Ionic bond much stronger than covalent bond so SUGAR is more soluble than common Salt.

This dissolve likes that is ionic solute like NaCl, KCL is soluble in polar solvents like water, whereas covalent ones like alkanes are soluble in nonpolar solvents that are organic solvent like benzene, Ccl4 and etc.
