Answer»

From given data-

Three partners Sunil, Anil & Anita invested Rs. 20000, Rs. 30000 & Rs. 10000 respectively.

∴ their RATIO of invested amount is 20000 ? 30000 ? 10000

∴ their ratio of invested amount = 2 ? 3 ? 1

∴ Partners will receive Rs. 10000 profit in the ratio of 2 ? 3 ? 1

Let the common multiplication CONSTANT be X.

∴ Sunil, Anil & Anita will receive profit as 2X, 3X & X respectively.

For Anita-

She will receive X parts of profit from 6X parts.

∴ Profit percent received by Anita = (X/6X) × 100 = 16.67%
