Consider the following statements about aperture shape:

1. A round hole sorts on particle width.

2. A slot sorts on particle thickness.

3. Either shape can be used to sort on length.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1 and 2 only
  • B.1 and 3 only
  • C.2 and 3 only
  • D.1, 2 and 3

Answer: A

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only

Statements 1 and 2 give the two aperture shapes correctly: a round hole passes a particle only if its width will go through, and a slot passes it only if its thickness will. Statement 3 is wrong - no aperture can sort on length, since a long particle passes end-on as readily as a short one, which is why length separation needs an indented cylinder or a disc separator.
