A and B invest in a business in the ratio 2 : 3. If 10% of the total profit goes to charity and B's share is Rs. 5400, the total profit is: A) Rs. 12000 B) Rs. 15000 C) Rs. 9000 D) Rs. 10000

• A:B=2:3
  B's share=5400
  common multiplicant, M=5400/3=1800
  A's share=2*1800=3600
  90%=A's share+B's share
  90%=5400+3600=9000
  100%=10000

• let profit = 100
  after charity B's share = 90*3/5
  =54 rs
  when profit= 100 then B'b share=54
  when B's share= 54 then profit= 100/54*5400
  = 10000 rs

• 10%=charity
  left=100%-10%=90% (profit of both)
  let's add proportions=2+3=>5
  90%=5
  1=18%(unitary method)
  hence,proportion=36% : 54%
  54%=5400
  100%=10000(unitary method)
  Answer=10000

• answer c
  9000
  3x=5400 so x=1800 then 2*1800=3600 so total is 3600+5400=9000
