Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
There are several methods which are used for the purpose of separation. Winnowing is a process which is used to separate the heavier components from the lighter components of a particular mixture by the wind. Winnowing is commonly used to separate the lighter husk particles from the grain seeds, which are heavier. The grains are taken in the winnowing basket or winnow and are dropped from a higher platform. The lighter particles that are husk or chaff are blown away by the wind, and the grains fall down, forming a heap. So, this way the husk is separated from the grains.
