(a) If the ink contains three different coloured components, we see spots of different colours at different heights on the filter paper as seen in the figure. The most soluble in water appears in the highest position, the less soluble in water appears in the middle position and the least soluble in water appears at the lowest position on the chromatograph. 

(b) Chromatography 

(c) This technique is also used to separate and identify amino acids obtained by hydrolysis of blood.
