Question:

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

Options:

1425

1500

1576

1580

Correct Answer:

1500

Explanation:

Let the total profit be 100.

After paying to charity, A's share = 95R x \(\frac{3}{5}\)

= 57R

According to question,

57R = Rs. 855

Total profit = 100 x \(\frac{855}{57}\)

= 1500
