Dear Student,

Ans. Option D) is correct: 3 and 4
Rice flakes and Corn And Potato wafers and biscuits can be separated by winnowing. That is due to the difference in their weights.


Winnowing is the process of separating lighter components of a mixture from the heavier ones by using wind or moving air is known as winnowing.
Winnowing is a farming method developed by ancient people for separating grain from chaff. It is also used to remove weevils or other pests from stored grain. Threshing, which is the loosening of grain or seeds from the husks and straw, comes before winnowing. The heavier grains fall back down for recovery.
