Given:
- Team V scored 5 runs in the first inning.
- Team P scored 10 more runs in the second inning than Team V did in the first inning.
So:
- Quantity A: First inning runs scored by Team V = 5
- Quantity B : Second inning runs scored by Team $\(\mathrm{P}=5+10=15\)$
Comparison:
Quantity $\(\mathrm{A}=5\)$
Quantity $\(B=15\)$
Thus,
Quantity $B$ is greater than Quantity $A$.
- Team V scored 5 runs in the first inning.

sorry to say but poorly worded question.
Totally specultaive
The ambiguity comes from the phrase "10 more runs than team V."
Interpretation 1 (The intended one): Team P scored 10 more than Team V's first-inning score ($5 + 10 = 15$).
Interpretation 2 (The confusing one): Does it mean 10 more than Team V's total at that point? Or does it mean Team P scored 10 runs in total, which happens to be more than Team V?
