Separation of sawdust from water, can be carried out by the following steps given below. Arrange them in a proper sequence.
(a) The mixture is poured gently in to the filter cone and collected into another beaker which is called filtrate.
(b) A mixture of saw dust and water is taken in a beaker
(c ) A filter paper is folded in the form of a cone and fitted into a funnel by moistening it with few drops of water
(d) solid retained on the filter paper is called residue.

Explanation

To separate sawdust from water, we need to follow a systematic approach. Here are the steps arranged in the proper sequence:

1. **Step (b)**: A mixture of sawdust and water is taken in a beaker.
- This is the initial step where we prepare the mixture that we want to separate.

2. **Step (c)**: A filter paper is folded in the form of a cone and fitted into a funnel by moistening it with a few drops of water.
- Here, we prepare the filtration setup, which is essential for separating the solid from the liquid.

3. **Step (a)**: The mixture is poured gently into the filter cone and collected into another beaker which is called filtrate.
- In this step, we perform the actual filtration process, where the liquid passes through the filter paper, and the solid remains on the paper.

4. **Step (d)**: The solid retained on the filter paper is called residue.
- Finally, we identify the solid that has been separated from the liquid.

So, the correct order of steps is: **B, C, A, D**.
