glucose and sucrose are soluble in water becaue they are able to form hydrogen bond with water molecule where it is not possible in case of cyclohexane and benzene
there are 5 oh group and 8 oh group in case of glucose and sucrose there there is an interaction between glucose,sucrose molecule with water and thus undergoes extensive hydrogen bonding.
benzene or cyclohexane do not undergo such hydrogen bond and thus are insoluble
