Answer 1

Answer:

total profit 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

A,B invest ratio is 3x:2x

whether increase/decrease in total profit the ratio will not change

A's share after 5% went to charity is  3x=855

                                                               x=285

B's share 2x=2*285=>570

A+B= 855+570=>1425

5% of total profit went to charity so remaining 95%

95%=1425

100%=1500

Answer 2

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.

1500 is the correct answer to this question
