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 one:	A) 1200	B) 1100	C) 1500	D) 1700	E) 1600
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   Hence the total profit = 1500   Answer is 1500.
