Given that \(\frac{1}{3 }\)+ \(\frac{2}{5}\) = p and p = \(\frac{a}{b}\), where a and b are positive integers
=> p = \(\frac{1}{3 }\)+ \(\frac{2}{5}\) = \(\frac{5}{15 }\)+ \(\frac{6}{15}\) = \(\frac{11}{15 }\) = \(\frac{a}{b}\)
=> b = 15
Clearly, Quantity A(b=15) > Quantity B(10)
So, Answer will be A
Hope it helps!
