Solution

Sieving is a method of separating the components of a mixture if they differ in size.
We use this method to separate wheat flour from its bran. Here, fine powdered particles of wheat flour pass through the ​sieve and the huge bran particles stay on the sieve. Sieving is also used to separate tea leaves from the liquid and seeds from fruit juice with the help of a strainer.
