The equation of line $\(l\)$ i.e. $\(\mathrm{ax}+\mathrm{by}+\mathrm{c}=0\)$ when written in slope and $\(\mathrm{y}-\)$ intercept form, we get $\(y=-\frac{a}{b} x-\frac{c}{b}\)$, which has $\(-\frac{a}{b}=\)$ slope (The equation of a line having slope ' $\(m\)$ ' and $\(y\)$-intercept ' $\(c\)$ ' is $\(\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{mx}+\mathrm{c}\)$ )

As $\(\mathrm{a}>0 \& \mathrm{~b}>0\)$, the slope of the line $l\(=\frac{-a}{b}\)$ is less than 0 .

Hence column B has higher quantity when compared with column A , so the answer is (B).
