Johanna · Answer 1

Separation by density filtration because lead slightly interacts with magnets also.

Blossom · Answer 2

Separation by density filtration.

Explanation:

Density filtration is the method of separation in which mixture of two or more materials are separated on the basis of their density variation whereas in magnetic separation materials are separated on the basis of their magnetic properties. In the given mixture of iron and lead both the materials shows magnetic properties. So separation by density filtration would be best.
