Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Sieving is used to separate a substance that is bigger than the others. The process in which bigger particles are separated from fine particles using a sieve is known as sieving. Once the mixture is passed through the sieve, the bigger particles are retained on the sieve, and the finer particles pass through the holes of the sieve and are collected eventually. For example, a sieve can separate wheat flour from the husk by sieving. When wheat flour passes through the sieve, the husk is retained on the sieve, and wheat flour passes through the holes of the sieve. Thus, the husk is separated from the wheat flour.
