Total profit 100%, and 5% is given to charity.
Total profit% for A & B = 95,
95% money split into to 5 parts (3:2),
95/5 = 19.
Profit % for A = 57%(3*19) | B = 38% (2*19).
x is total amount of profit.
x * 57% = 855,
x = 855/0.57,
x = 1500.
Total profit% for A & B = 95,
95% money split into to 5 parts (3:2),
95/5 = 19.
Profit % for A = 57%(3*19) | B = 38% (2*19).
x is total amount of profit.
x * 57% = 855,
x = 855/0.57,
x = 1500.

a:b = 3:2
Total parts 5.
5%goes to charity then 100-5 = 95%.
then 95/5 = 19.
a = 3 * 19 = 57.
b = 2 * 19 = 38.
The profit is 855/57 = 15.
15*100=1500

3 : 2
3/5 X * 95/100 = 855
X = 855 * 5/3 * 100/95
X = 1500.
3/5 X * 95/100 = 855
X = 855 * 5/3 * 100/95
X = 1500.

A's share is 855.
855/3 = 285.
285×5 = 1425,
1425/95 = 15.
Now 15 is the 1% of total profit,
15×100 = 1500.
855/3 = 285.
285×5 = 1425,
1425/95 = 15.
Now 15 is the 1% of total profit,
15×100 = 1500.

Total profit 1500.
Less 5% = 75.
A share 1425 * 3/5 = 855.
B share 1425 * 2/5 = 570.
Less 5% = 75.
A share 1425 * 3/5 = 855.
B share 1425 * 2/5 = 570.

A and B invested in the ratio 3:2,
So, profit also 3:2 If 3r=855,2r=570 .
5% goes to charity,
So 95% = 855 + 570 = 1425.
If, 95%=1425 then 100% = 1500.
So, profit also 3:2 If 3r=855,2r=570 .
5% goes to charity,
So 95% = 855 + 570 = 1425.
If, 95%=1425 then 100% = 1500.

From options, total profit is 1500. Profit after 5% goes to charity is 1500-1500*5%=1425.
Now, A's share = 3/5*1495 = 855.
That means, given statement is true so the answer is Rs. 1500.
Now, A's share = 3/5*1495 = 855.
That means, given statement is true so the answer is Rs. 1500.

Let the total profit is - X.
Profit after charity- 19x/20.
Share of A = 19x/20 * 3/5 = 855.
So, X= 1500.
Profit after charity- 19x/20.
Share of A = 19x/20 * 3/5 = 855.
So, X= 1500.
