\(1<n<4\) , where \(n\) is an integer
So \(n\) can take two values - \(2\) & \(3\)
If
\(n = 2\) :: Qt B > Qt A
\(n = 3\) :: Qt A = Qt B
Answer D

Quantity A = n-1
We know that \(1<n<4\)
Subtracting 1 from all sides we get
\(1-1 < n - 1 < 4-1\)
=> \(0<n-1<3\)
that means n-1 being an integer can take only 2 values 1 and 2
Clearly, we need to know the exact value of n to answer the problem
As, in one case Quantity A < Quantity B (when n-1 = 1)
And in another Quantity A = Quantity B (when n-1 = 2)
So, answer will be D
Hope it helps!
