1.
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 |

Is there any trick to solve such kind of question without doing all this calculation?

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%).

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.

3 = 855.
2 = ?
=> 855*2 = 1500.
B's share is 1500.
2 = ?
=> 855*2 = 1500.
B's share is 1500.

Let x be the total profit, after charity profit becomes x-5.
So A's share = 3/5 (x-5).
And in the question A's share = 855.
Equating A's share, we get.
= 3/5(x-5) = 855.
After solving we get x = 1500.
So A's share = 3/5 (x-5).
And in the question A's share = 855.
Equating A's share, we get.
= 3/5(x-5) = 855.
After solving we get x = 1500.

3/5X = 855.
X = 1425.
If 95% = 1425.
100% = 1500, so simple.
X = 1425.
If 95% = 1425.
100% = 1500, so simple.

Why we are taking 100/57 at last step, No one tell above?

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.

Let total profit is x rs.
Then remaing profit (x-x*5/100).
= 95x/100.
A's profit is 3/5*95x/100.
= 57x/100.
But A'shares of profit is given as 855 so 57x/100 = 855.
x = 1500 that is total profit.
Then remaing profit (x-x*5/100).
= 95x/100.
A's profit is 3/5*95x/100.
= 57x/100.
But A'shares of profit is given as 855 so 57x/100 = 855.
x = 1500 that is total profit.

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.
95 for A & B which is shared by 3:2.
