 A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
 A solution may exist in any phase.
 A solution consists of a solute and a solvent.
 The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent.
 For example, in a saline solution, salt is the solute dissolved in water as the solvent.

Let us make an experiment and observe the solution:
