Can it be done like this instead of assuming that total profit = 100.
a:b = 3:2.
Profit of a = 855.
Total profit of the firm = 855*5/3 = 1425.
I don't know why it is wrong.

I will agree with you for taking the total profit to be 100.
But if we verify the answer.
A's share = 3/5*1500 = 900.
But there in question A's share of profit = 855.
In the given options if we take total profit = 1425.
The A's share = 3/5*1425 = 855.
1425 should be the answer in my view.
Anyone reply me if I am wrong.

Let total profit be Rs. 100 .
A's share,if profit is Rs. 100 = [95*3/5]=Rs.57.
If A's share is Rs.855,profit = ?
VARIATION
Share | Profit
Rs.57 | Rs.100
Rs.855 | x
Direct Variation:
855/57 * 100 = x.
x = Rs.1500.
Total Profit = Rs.1500.
A's share,if profit is Rs. 100 = [95*3/5]=Rs.57.
If A's share is Rs.855,profit = ?
VARIATION
Share | Profit
Rs.57 | Rs.100
Rs.855 | x
Direct Variation:
855/57 * 100 = x.
x = Rs.1500.
Total Profit = Rs.1500.

Easy method A's share 3part = 855.
So one part of A = 855/3 = 285.
Now B's share = 285*2 = 570.
So 95% of profit = 1425.
100% share = 1425/95*100 = 1500.
So one part of A = 855/3 = 285.
Now B's share = 285*2 = 570.
So 95% of profit = 1425.
100% share = 1425/95*100 = 1500.

Easy method:
Let's assume B's share as x.
855/x = 3/2.
So, x = 570.
Then 570 + 855 = 1425 + 5% = 1496.25.
Which would approximate to 1500.

100x * 3/5 = 855.
x = 1425 + 5%.
=1500.
x = 1425 + 5%.
=1500.
