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?	Choices:
A) 1400
B) 1500
C) 1600
D) 1200
E) 1800
Explanation:   Assume that the total profit is xx   since 5% goes for charity, 95% of xx will be divided between A and B in the ratio 3:2   Therefore, A's profit =95x 100×35   Given that A's share is Rs. 855. Therefore,   95 x 100×35=855   ⇒95x100=855×53=285×5=1425   ⇒x=1425×10095=285×10019=1500   Hence the total profit = 1500   Answer: Option 1500
