67. Three mixtures A, B and C are obtained by
stirring three different solids in water taken in

stand for some time, then its particles settle at
the bottom of the beaker. When a beam of light
is passed through mixture A in a dark room, the

the side of the beaker. When mixture B is allowed
to stand for a considerable time, even then its
particles do not settle down. Mixture B, however,
scatters the beam of light just like mixture A. The
particles of mixture C do not settle down on
