A Correct answer
Explanation

The ratio is 4:3:6:7. Mr. Adams' share (3 parts) is 8400, so 1 part = 8400 / 3 = 2800. Mr. Jackson's share (7 parts) = 7 * 2800 = 19600.

AI explanation

The profit is distributed in the ratio of their investments, which is 4 : 3 : 6 : 7. Let the total profit be 4x + 3x + 6x + 7x equals 20x; since Mr. Adams's share is \$8400, 3x equals 8400, making x equal to 2800. Mr. Jackson's share is 7x, which is 7 times 2800, equaling \$19600.
