Answer:
1) dry the soil sample in an oven or out in the sun to remove moisture
2) take 3 sieves of different sizes (2mm,0.05mm,0.002mm) and arrange them in a collecting chamber
3) collect the fractions in 3 compartments
4) the particles that have 2-0.05 diameter is sand
the particles that have 0.05-0.002 diameter is silt
the particles that have less than 0.002mm diameter is clay
therefore by this experiment Rahul can know the composition of soil
