Solution
The correct options are
A Tea leaves from tea
B Mud from water
D Seeds from fruit juice
∙ Filtration is a process of separation used when minute insoluble solids are present in a liquid. Filter paper has very fine pore size. It holds the relatively larger solid particles and lets the liquid pass through.
∙ Tea leaves, mud and seeds are insoluble solid components in their respective solutions. They do not pass through filter paper while their respective liquid does. Hence, filtration can be used.
∙ While pebbles cannot be seperated from sand by filtration as both the components cannot pass through the filter paper.
