Solution

This statement is True.

Explanation:

  • Iron filings are magnetic, meaning they are attracted to a magnet.

  • Rice flour is non-magnetic, so it is not attracted by a magnet.

  • When a magnet is brought near the mixture, it attracts only the iron filings, leaving the rice flour behind.
