Solution:

Concept:

Use the given percentage formula to find T's 2020 profit, then apply P's percentage increase from 2020 to 2021 to get T's 2021 profit.

Explanation:

From the given data, P's profit in 2020 is

\text{Rs}1200

and in 2021 is

\text{Rs.}1600

. Q's profit in 2020 is

\text{Rs. }2000

T's profit in 2020 is:

= 20\%\text{ of P} + 30\%\text{ of Q}

= \frac{20}{100}\times1200 + \frac{30}{100}\times2000

= 240 + 600 = \text{Rs.}840

Now, increase in P's profit from 2020 to 2021 is:

= 1600 - 1200 = \text{Rs.}400

P's percentage increase is:

= \frac{400}{1200}\times100 = 33\frac{1}{3}\% = \frac{1}{3}

Since T increased at the same rate, T's increase is:

= \frac{1}{3} \times 840 = \text{Rs. }280

So, T's profit in 2021 is:

= 840 + 280 = \text{Rs.}1120

Answer:

\text{Rs. }1120
