Question 14

Quantity A is greater.

Quantity A, represented by the variable x, is greater than Quantity B, which is 60.

A) Quantity A is greater.

This option is correct because it states that x exceeds 60. Without any specific value for x but assuming it is sufficiently large, this relationship holds true.

B) Quantity B is greater.

This option is incorrect because it suggests that 60 is larger than x. Since we have established that x can be greater than 60, this assertion does not hold.

C) The two quantities are equal.

This option is incorrect because it implies that x equals 60. There is no given information to support that x must be equal to 60, making this statement false.

D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

This option is also incorrect. While we do not have a specific value for x, the problem suggests that x can be greater than 60, thereby allowing us to conclude that Quantity A is indeed greater.

Conclusion

The assertion that Quantity A is greater is supported by the understanding that x can take on values exceeding 60. All other options fail because they either misrepresent the relationship between the quantities or suggest that insufficient information exists when, in fact, we can draw a logical conclusion about the comparison.
