Concentration of urea solution, $C_1=\frac{6}{60}=0.1{\text{ mol L}}^{-1}$

Concentration of sucrose solution, $C_2=\frac{17.12}{342}\approx 0.05{\text{ mol L}}^{-1}$

Osmotic pressure is given by $\pi =CRT$.

Since $C_1>C_2$, we have ${\pi }_1>{\pi }_2$.

A solution with higher osmotic pressure is hypertonic to the other solution. Therefore, the urea solution is hypertonic to the sucrose solution.

Answer: Urea solution is hypertonic to sucrose solution,
