Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Filtration is a process by which solids are separated from the liquid by using filters. We can use a piece of cloth or filter paper on a funnel for filtering. When a mixture is poured on the filter paper, all the solid particles larger than the pore size of the filter paper remain on the filter while the liquid will pass through it. For example, milk and water are both liquids. Their mixture will also be a complete liquid as milk is soluble in water. Thus, they cannot be separated by filtration.
The correct statement would be, a mixture of milk and water cannot be separated by filtration.
