Kudos for the right answer and explanation
Quantity A:
(a+b+c)/5Quantity B:
1/5ab+c/5=(1+abc)/5abSince there is no restriction on the values of
a,b,c, let us take some scenarios:
Let
c=0: [Note:
ab is not zero;
c can be zero]
Quantity A:
(a+b)/5Quantity B:
1/5abIf
a=b:
Quantity A:
2a/5Quantity B:
1/5a2If
a=1: Quantity A = 2/5 and Quantity B = 1/5
=> Quantity A is greater
If
a=−1: Quantity A = -2/5 and Quantity B = 1/5
=> Quantity B is greater
Thus, there is no relation
