Answer:
A mixture of two miscible liquids having a difference in their boiling points more than 25 °C can be separated by the method of simple distillation.
Explanation:
Simple distillation can be used when the temperature difference between the boiling points of two miscible liquid is at least 25C. The temperature difference between the boiling points of kerosene and petrol is 25C. Hence, this mixture can be separated using simple distillation.
