Solution

Dear student

When there are two components P and Q and P is less in amount than Q
Colour shape and size of P is different from Q, then we can separate them by hand picking. We can pick out P from the mixture. Or by use of a sieve we can separate P from Q. A sieve with the hole size of P can be used to strain out P , with Q remaining in the mixture.
