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: C) 1500 Explanation: Let the total profit be Rs. 100. After paying to charity, A's share = (95*3/5) = Rs. 57. If A's share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100. If A's share is Rs. 855, total profit = (100/57*855) = 1500.
