If total profit is 100%
The remaining profit is 95%(because the 5% profit goes to charity)
So, now the profit need distribute to A and B.
Bow we can calculate the A's profit.
A's Profit = (3/5)*95% = 57%.
As per problem A got Rs 855.
So, 57% = 855,
So, we need full profit = (855/57)*100 = 1500.

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

Thanks all for explaining the answer.

95/100A = 855.
A=900,
3x=A.
=> x = 300.
B = 2x.
B = 600.
A + B = 1500.

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

Thanks @Akshit Bhatia.

Not understanding.

In a business A and B invest ratio is 3:2.
Here mentioned A's share in business Rs. 855.
Let's suppose, A's share in the business ratio is 3 and B's share in the business ratio is 2.
Here already mentioned A=855.
If we divide 855 by 3= 285 per 1 ratio,
That means B=570.
So,
A= 855 + B = 570 = 1425.
1425 is the 95% of total profit.
Because, 5% of the total profit goes to charity.
If we 1425 divided by 95% we get 1500
Therefore, the correct answer is (B) Rs.1500

Solution:

A:B =3:2
Consider formula I*T =P.

855 = 3/5 * Total profit.
Then Total profit = (855*5)/3.
Total profit = 1425 it consists of only 95 percent.
And 5 percent is donated as a charity.
So 1425/95 = 15.
And we need 100 percentage.
Then 15 is only 1 percent.
We need 100 percent.
So, 100*15= 1500.

3:2,

If 3parts 855 then 5 parts ?
5*855/3=1425 and if 95%=1425 then 100%=?
100*1425/95=1500 this is simple method.
