Solution
The correct option is D Magnetic separation → Sublimation → Filtration → Crystallisation Magnetic separation removes the iron fillings from the mixture, followed by sublimation which will separate Ammonium chloride, Filtration will then remove sand and at last crystallization will help separate the sodium chloride. Hence (d) is the correct order because only in this order all components can be separated successfully.
