Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Sedimentation and decantation or filtration are methods that can be used to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid. Both these methods can separate a mixture of sand and water, either by allowing the sand to settle down at the bottom or by using filter paper. Sedimentation is settling the sand suspended in a liquid at the bottom of the container, and pouring out of the clear liquid that comes up is called decantation. In the filtration process, the sand remains on the filter paper, and water passes through the filter paper and is collected.
