Proving the answer of (a+b+c)/3 to be both less than and greater than b will help us answer the question
Scenario 1
=========
a=1
b=2
c=3
(a+b+c)/3 = 2
b=2
Implies Quantity A and B are equal.
Scenario 2
=========
a=1
b=2
c=12
(A+b+c)/3 = 15/3= 5
Quantity A > B
Implies Ans - D The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
