The rate at which Milo can core apples is x apples/10 min, or 6x apples/hour. The rate at which Milo can peel potatoes is y potatoes/20 min, or 3y potatoes/hour. So the comparison is really 6x vs. 3y. However, without more information, you have no way to compare these two values. The answer is (D).
