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 is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the total profit be Rs. 100.
| After paying to charity, A's share = Rs. |  |
95 x | 3 |  |
= Rs. 57. |
| 5 |
If A's share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100.
| If A's share Rs. 855, total profit = | |
100 | x 855 | |
= 1500. |
| 57 |

Hi.
After giving 5% profit to charity,
A's share is 855 i.e 95% is remaining.
hence For 100%, (100*855)/95=900,
So, Now A's share is 900,
Hence From the ratio, we can calculate.
3x=900.
x=300.
As we know B's ratio is 2x=2*300=600.
Hence, add both A's share and B's share.
900+600=1500.
This is the total profit.

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.

Hi guys,
Let take a look on the below
if total profit is 100
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

As per formulae:Suppose A and B invest Rs. x and Rs. y respectively for a year in a business, then at the end of the year:
(A's share of profit) : (B's share of profit) = x : y.
A's total profit=855+5%0f 855=900
let B,s total profit is x
so 900/x=3/2
x=600
So total profit= A profit+b profit=900+600=1500
(A's share of profit) : (B's share of profit) = x : y.
A's total profit=855+5%0f 855=900
let B,s total profit is x
so 900/x=3/2
x=600
So total profit= A profit+b profit=900+600=1500

Let A's share is Rs x
A's Profit after 5% charity is Rs 855, Then
A's net profit after charity is 95% of x is equal to Rs 855i.e.
(95*x)/100=855
x=Rs 900
Let Total profit is Rs Y
A's and B's Share is in Ratio of 3:2
A's share in buisseness is (3*Y)/5 is equal to 900 i.e
(3*Y)/5=900
Total Profit (Y)=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.
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.

A= 3 B = 2.
(A + B = 5X).
855 = 3.
NOW DIVIDE 855 / 3 = 285 (NOW WE CAN GET 1 X OF A).
NOW WE KNOW 1 X OF THE TOTAL 5X.
SO TOTAL A 3 + B 2 = 5X ...SO MULTIPLY 285 * 5 = 1425.
THIS 1425 IS EQUAL TO 95 % BECAUSE 5% GOES TO CHARITY.
APPLY 1425 = 95%.
?? = 100%.
(1425 * 100) / 95 = 1500.
(A + B = 5X).
855 = 3.
NOW DIVIDE 855 / 3 = 285 (NOW WE CAN GET 1 X OF A).
NOW WE KNOW 1 X OF THE TOTAL 5X.
SO TOTAL A 3 + B 2 = 5X ...SO MULTIPLY 285 * 5 = 1425.
THIS 1425 IS EQUAL TO 95 % BECAUSE 5% GOES TO CHARITY.
APPLY 1425 = 95%.
?? = 100%.
(1425 * 100) / 95 = 1500.

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.
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 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.

@All.
Here All are having a problem with that 3/5 part used for A's shares.
Below;
The Ratio is given as 3:2.
Adding 3+2 we get, answer as 5,
now to find A's share, we take 3 as per given in a ratio of 3:2.
And then we divide 3 with the whole of 5 which gives us value 3/5.
