Correct Answer: Rs. 12,000


Solution : Charity = 15% of the total profit
Investment ratio = profit ratio = 7 : 5
Profit shared = 85 % of the total profit
A's share = $\frac{7}{7+5}$× profit shared
⇒ 5950 = $\frac{7}{12}$× profit shared
⇒ Profit shared = $\frac{5950×12}{7}$ = 10,200
Total profit = 10200×$\frac{100}{85}$ = 12,000
Hence, the correct answer is Rs.12,000.
