    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Let the total profit be Rs. 100.

     

    After paying to charity, A's share = Rs\([95*\frac { 3 } { 5 } ]\)=Rs. 57.

     

    If A's share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100.

     

    If A's share Rs. 855, total profit =.[\(\frac { 100 } {57 }*855]\)=1500
