Correct Answer: INR 51,575


Solution : Investment ratio of A and B = 9: 5
Share of A = INR 29840
According to the question,
Since 10% of the total profit goes to charity
So, $\frac{9}{9+5}$ of (90% of total profit) = 29840
⇒ 90% of total profit = $\frac{29840 × 14}{9}$
So, the total profit = $\frac{29840 × 14 × 100}{9 × 90}$ = 51575.3
Hence, the correct answer is INR 51,575.
