Statement I:- In froth floatation method a rotating paddle agitates the mixture to drive air out of it.
Statement II:- Iron pyrites are generally avoided for extraction of iron due to environmental reasons.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:-
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true

Correct answer
B. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
