A solution is a liquid mixture (or a compound) in which a solute gets easily dissolved in a solvent. Usually, Solute is the smaller component of the solution which gets dissolved in the larger component, Solvent. Edit: Example- in Sugar solution, Sugar is the Solute and Water is the Solvent.
Hope that helps!!
