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.
