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 |

@Raani.
5% in 855 is,
0.05 * 855 = 42.75.

Basically, total Share given to A is 95% i.e 855.
Therefore totally A got 900 (855/95) * 100,
and the investment is 3 : 2,
so if 3 is 900, 2 will be 600,
900+600 = 1500.
Therefore totally A got 900 (855/95) * 100,
and the investment is 3 : 2,
so if 3 is 900, 2 will be 600,
900+600 = 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.

855/3*5 = 1425.
1425 * 100/95 = 1500.
1425 * 100/95 = 1500.

Let x be the number.
A : B = 3 : 2,that is 3x : 2x, 3x = 855.
X = 285,B share is 2(285) = 570.
570 + 855 = 1425.
Remaining percentage left is 95 is 1425.
Then 5 percentage is?
95-1425.
5 -. ?
That is 1425*5/95=1500 that's the answer.
A : B = 3 : 2,that is 3x : 2x, 3x = 855.
X = 285,B share is 2(285) = 570.
570 + 855 = 1425.
Remaining percentage left is 95 is 1425.
Then 5 percentage is?
95-1425.
5 -. ?
That is 1425*5/95=1500 that's the answer.

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?

Let us take total profit =100.
The ratio of A and B is 3:2.
And 5% goes to charity from total profit 95% remaining,
In that 95% profit A share is 3/5,
So 95 * 3/5 = 57.
In, 100% investment A share is 57 this is assumption,
Given A share is 855 and B share is?
By finding that B share we have do cross multiplication.
100 57
B. 855
BY DOING THAT U HAVE TO GET B SHARE = 1500.
