Solution

The correct option is A
True

Finely pulverized (powdered) ore is treated with a stream of water such that the lighter gangue particles are washed away leaving behind the heavier ore particles. This is particularly applicable for heavier ore like Cassiterite $S n O_{2}$ and Haematite $F e_{2} O_{3}$ .

The schematic setup which is used to carry out gravity separation is such that it takes advantage of the difference in the specific gravities of ore and gangue particles.
