    Solution:

    The above statement is false. When the sand and powdered leaves fall at the same place, the leaves are blown away as the sand reaches the place vertically. This process is known as winnowing. In this process, heavier components are separated from the mixture with the help of wind.
    The corrected statement would be, “The powdered leaves are heavier than sand, they are easily blown away”.
