Question: A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 2. If 5% of the total profit goes to charity and A's share is Tk. 1425, the total profit is:

Solution:
Let,
the total profit be = Tk.100
After paying to charity, A's share = Tk. {95 × (3/5)}
= Tk. 57

If A's share is = Tk. 57
∴ Total profit = Tk. 100

If A's share = Tk. 1425
∴ Total profit = {(100/57) × 1425}
= 2500
