Given:

A and B invested money in a business in the ratio of 7 ∶  5.

15% of the total profit goes for charity, and A's share in the profit is Rs. 5,950

Calculation:

The total profit of A and B will be 5950 × 12 / 7 = Rs 10200

The total profit including charity is 10200 × 100/85 = Rs 12000

∴ The correct option is 2
