| 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 = | |

Profit sharing ratio A:B 3:2.
A share of profit 855.
Let's take 100% total profit.
Hence total profit = 855*5/3 = 1425 (95%).
Total profit with 5% given to charity = 1425*100/95 = 1500 (100%).
A share of profit 855.
Let's take 100% total profit.
Hence total profit = 855*5/3 = 1425 (95%).
Total profit with 5% given to charity = 1425*100/95 = 1500 (100%).

A's Profit = 3/5 i.e 855
B's Profit = 2/5 ; 2/5 of Profit = ?
3/5= 0.6; 2/5=0.4 ; 0.4*855/0.6= 570
A+ B = 1425 (Which is 95% of profit) ;
5% = 0.05*1425*.95 =75
Total Profit = 1425 + 75 = 1500;
B's Profit = 2/5 ; 2/5 of Profit = ?
3/5= 0.6; 2/5=0.4 ; 0.4*855/0.6= 570
A+ B = 1425 (Which is 95% of profit) ;
5% = 0.05*1425*.95 =75
Total Profit = 1425 + 75 = 1500;

Hi, I have used a reverse method i.e,
A's share = 855
So I have used (A's ratio/total ratio)*y= 855
i.e,
(3/5) * y = 855
I got the answer as 1425.
Please, tell me why I got the wrong answer?

After 5% of charity, A's share 855.
i.e 95% --> 855.
100% --> (100*855)/95 = 900.
900 rs --> 3 parts.
(600) rs --> 2 parts.
Finally A's share + B's share = 900+600 = 1500.
i.e 95% --> 855.
100% --> (100*855)/95 = 900.
900 rs --> 3 parts.
(600) rs --> 2 parts.
Finally A's share + B's share = 900+600 = 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.

3% is 855.
Then for 5 portions 855÷3=285*5=1450.
Now we have to consider the amount which goes to Charity 5%.
So 1450 is just 95%.
1450÷95*100. =1500.
Hence proved.

Let x is total profit.
5% is given to charity.
So new profit =95% 0f x.
There fore a's profit will be 3/5*new profit.
Therefore 3/5*95/100*x=a's profit.
3/5*95/100*x=855.
X=1500.

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.
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.

Total 100.
95 for A & B which is shared by 3:2.
i.e. 57:38.
In 100 A get 57 so if we cross multiply we will get 1500.
i.e.
100*855/57.

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.
