please correct me if I am wrong
from the stem it is clear that a is less than b
so (a + N)/(b+N) is always less than 1 for any positive integer N
so answer is B


Perfect logic!

my method -
a + 6 / b +6 = 5/6

so quantity A is
(a + 6 ) +4/ (b + 6 ) +4

which is will be --- 5 + 4 / 6 + 4
=9 / 10
=0.9
