B Correct answer
Explanation

Let F = x. A = 3/4 * x. J = 4 * A = 4 * (3/4 * x) = 3x. Total investment ratio J:A:F = 3x : 0.75x : x = 12:3:4. Total parts = 19. Jalal's share = 12/19 * 19000 = 12000.

AI explanation

Let Amit's investment be 3x; then Jalal invests 4 times that amount, which is 12x, and Feroz invests 4x. The ratio of their investments is 12 : 3 : 4, making a total of 19 parts. Jalal's share of the 19000 profit is (12/19) * 19000, which equals 12000.
