Evaluating the two given equations $\(4 x+3 y=12\)$ and $\(x+2 y=2\)$, we get $\(y=\frac{-4}{5}\)$ and $\(x=\frac{18}{5}\)$.
The value of Column $\(\mathrm{A}=\left|\frac{x}{y}\right|=\left(\frac{18}{4}\right)\)$ and
The value of Column $\(\mathrm{B}=\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^2=\left(\frac{18}{4}\right)^2\)$.
Hence Column B > Column A.
Thus, the correct option is $\(B\)$.

Hence Column B > Column A.
Thus, the correct option is $\(B\)$.
