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. |

Suppose total profit = X.
The ratio of investment of A and B = 3:2.
A's share = Rs. 855.
In ratio A has 3 units,
So, 855/3 gives the value of one unit.
Therefore, 855/3 = Rs. 285.
The value of one unit = Rs. 285.
Total units we have = 5.
So, the profit they both get after giving 5 percent money to charity = 285 * 5 = Rs. 1425.
Now, according to question,
X - 5% of X = 1425.
X - 5X/100 = 1425.
100X - 5X.
95X = 142500.
X = 142500 = Rs. 1500.
The ratio of investment of A and B = 3:2.
A's share = Rs. 855.
In ratio A has 3 units,
So, 855/3 gives the value of one unit.
Therefore, 855/3 = Rs. 285.
The value of one unit = Rs. 285.
Total units we have = 5.
So, the profit they both get after giving 5 percent money to charity = 285 * 5 = Rs. 1425.
Now, according to question,
X - 5% of X = 1425.
X - 5X/100 = 1425.
100X - 5X.
95X = 142500.
X = 142500 = Rs. 1500.

100X - 5X.

100X - 5X.
95X = 142500.
X = 142500 = Rs. 1500.

A:B=3:2
A/B=3/2.
A's share=855(after 5% for charity),
855/B=3/2,
855*2=3B,
B=570,
total profit be x.
profit after 5% charity=855+570=1425,
x-5%of x=1425,
x- 5/100 of x =1425,
95x=1425*100,
x=142500/95=1500.
A/B=3/2.
A's share=855(after 5% for charity),
855/B=3/2,
855*2=3B,
B=570,
total profit be x.
profit after 5% charity=855+570=1425,
x-5%of x=1425,
x- 5/100 of x =1425,
95x=1425*100,
x=142500/95=1500.

A:B=3:2.
If 5% of the total profit goes to charity.
A's share = 855
Let total profit is x
A:B=3x:2x.
A's share = (3x/5)*855 = 1425.
If 5% added to profit = 1425+5% = 1500.
If 5% of the total profit goes to charity.
A's share = 855
Let total profit is x
A:B=3x:2x.
A's share = (3x/5)*855 = 1425.
If 5% added to profit = 1425+5% = 1500.

A:B = 3:2.
3/5 x (Total Profit - 5%) = 855.
Total Profit -5% = 1425,
Total Profit = 1425 + 5% of TP,
5% of 1425 is not 1500.
It is 1496.25.,
1425 x 105/100 = 1496.25.
3/5 x (Total Profit - 5%) = 855.
Total Profit -5% = 1425,
Total Profit = 1425 + 5% of TP,
5% of 1425 is not 1500.
It is 1496.25.,
1425 x 105/100 = 1496.25.

A:B= 3:2,
If 5% of the total profit goes to charity then A's share is Rs. 855,
so total profit after goes to charity is,
(3/5)*X=855
so X= (855*5)/3
X=1425
so total profit= X+ 5% of total profit
= 1425+ 5% of total profit
So the total profit is total profit after goes to charity and 5% of the total profit.
By verifying options [A] is not correct
Taking [B] 5% of 1500 = (5/100)*1500= 75
So 1425+ 75 =1500.
If 5% of the total profit goes to charity then A's share is Rs. 855,
so total profit after goes to charity is,
(3/5)*X=855
so X= (855*5)/3
X=1425
so total profit= X+ 5% of total profit
= 1425+ 5% of total profit
So the total profit is total profit after goes to charity and 5% of the total profit.
By verifying options [A] is not correct
Taking [B] 5% of 1500 = (5/100)*1500= 75
So 1425+ 75 =1500.

A = 3.
B = 2.
A profit is 810.
3 parts 810.
1 part is 810%3 = 285.
B=2 parts 2(285) = 570.
810 + 570 = 1425.
Total profit is 100% charity 5% remaing 95% is A and B.
95% = 1425
THEN 1% IS 15 5% is alwasly 75.
Total 1425 + 75 = 1500.
B = 2.
A profit is 810.
3 parts 810.
1 part is 810%3 = 285.
B=2 parts 2(285) = 570.
810 + 570 = 1425.
Total profit is 100% charity 5% remaing 95% is A and B.
95% = 1425
THEN 1% IS 15 5% is alwasly 75.
Total 1425 + 75 = 1500.
