      Question

      The contributions made by A and B are in the ratio of

      3:2. If 5% of total profit is donated and A gets 8550 as his share of profit, what is the total profit?
      A Rs. 12750.25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 19402.50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 15250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 15000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the total profit = x
      The ratio of contribution by A and B = 3:2
      Share of A = (3/2) × x = 8550
      x= (8550 × 2)/3
      Total profit: x = 14250
      A gets 8550 after 95% donated
      Now, 95% = 14250
      1% = 14250/ 95
      And, 100% = (14250/95) × 100 = 15000
