How will you separate camphor, common salt and iron nails from their mixture?

1. The mixture is poured into a beaker of water. On stirring,  salt will dissolve, while iron nails and camphor will not.
2. On filtering the mixture, the salt solution will pass through and iron filings and camphor will remain on the paper.
3. On evaporating the filtrate over the bunsen burner, the water will evaporate. Eventually, salt will be left behind.
4. Pass the magnet over the camphor and iron filings. The magnet will attract the iron, leaving behind camphor as residue.
