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?
Choose the correct choice from the following:	A) 1200	B) 1300	C) 1500	D) 1400	E) 1700
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   Therefore, A's profit =(95x/100)×(3/5)   Given that A's share is Rs. 855. Therefore,   (95x/100)×(3/5)=855   ⇒95x/100=855×5/3=285×5=1425   ⇒x=1425×100/95   =285×100/19=1500   Answer is C.   Hence the total profit = 1500
