A and B invest in a business in a ratio of 3 : 2. If 5% of the total profit goes to charity. A's share is Tk. 855, the total profit is:
A Tk. 1425
B Tk. 1500
C Tk. 1537.50
D Tk. 1576
Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Let the total profit be Tk. 100.
After paying to charity, A's share = (95 × 3/5) = 57
If A's share is Tk. 57, total profit = 100
If A's share is Tk. 855, total profit = (100/57) × 855
= 1500.
