Settling ratio: The ratio of sizes of A and B when they are
equally falling is called the settling ratio.
Size Ratio: The ratio of the average size of the largest particle
in the mixture to that of the smallest particle is termed as the
size ratio.
If the settling ratio is equal to the size ratio, complete
separation is possible
