(N/A) No,the amount of salt and sugar that can be dissolved in water at a given temperature is not the same. Solubility is a characteristic property of a substance and varies depending on the nature of the solute.
$(b)$ If she cools the contents of the beakers,crystals of salt and sugar will appear. This happens because the solubility of a solid in a liquid generally decreases as the temperature decreases. As the solution cools,it becomes supersaturated,causing the excess solute to precipitate out in the form of crystals.
