Question

A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 2. If 5% of the total profit goes to charity and As share is Rs. 855, the total profit is:

Options:

A . Rs. 1425

B . Rs. 1500

C . Rs. 1537.50

D . Rs. 1576

Answer: Option B

Let the total profit be Rs. 100.

After paying to charity, A's share = Rs. \(\left(95\times\frac{3}{5}\right)\) = Rs.57.

If A's share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100.

If A's share Rs. 855, total profit = \(\left(\frac{100}{57}\times855\right)\) = 1500.
