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 |

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.

Hey by taking optins A 1425.
So.
1425*3/5=855.
So 1st option is also correct..
So.
1425*3/5=855.
So 1st option is also correct..

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

Why we are calculating by 100/57 why dont we take 57/100?

No of the share = 5
A is share = 3 , B is share = 2
A's Profit = 855
per share rate 855/3= 285
B's share 285*2= 570
total profit= A+B+5%
95%(A+B)= 1425
5% = 75
total Profit= 1500
A is share = 3 , B is share = 2
A's Profit = 855
per share rate 855/3= 285
B's share 285*2= 570
total profit= A+B+5%
95%(A+B)= 1425
5% = 75
total Profit= 1500

Let total profit is x
Then 5% of profit goes to charity= 5x/100
Rest amount is 95% of x= 95x/100
A's share = 855
95x/100*3/5 = 855
x=1500
Then 5% of profit goes to charity= 5x/100
Rest amount is 95% of x= 95x/100
A's share = 855
95x/100*3/5 = 855
x=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.

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
A's Profit after 5% charity is Rs 855, Then

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
