A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3: 2. Assume that 5% of the total profit goes to charity. If A's share is Rs. 855, what is the total profit?
Options:
A) 1400
B) 1500
C) 1600
D) 1200
E) None of these
Explanation :   Assume that the total profit is x.   Since 5% goes for charity, 95% of x will be divided between A and B in the ratio 3: 2   =&gt; A's profit = (95x/100) * (3/5) = 855   =&gt; 95x/100 = 855*5/3 = 285*5=
