Answer

The quark combination needed to form $\Xi^0$ is $ssu$

Work Step by Step

The $\Xi^0$ has charge $0$, and strangeness $-2$ The strange quark $s$ has charge $-\frac{1}{3}$, and strangeness $-1$ The up quark $u$ has charge $+\frac{2}{3}$, and strangeness $0$ The quark combination needed to form $\Xi^0$ is $ssu$
