Question

Name the method of separation used to separate Pebbles and sand at a construction site.

Answer 1

Sieving: Sieving is a method of separating a mixture of various-sized particles by passing them through a suitable sieve.

• Pebbles are separated from sand using a large sieve at a construction site.
• We can use sieving as a method of separation only if components of the mixture are of different sizes.
• Hence sieving is the separation method used to separate Pebbles and sand at a construction site.
