A) Quantity A is greater.
B) Quantity B is greater.
C) The two quantities are equal.
D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.


2+1/2 = 2.5.
3+1/2 = 3.5.

3+1/2.5 > 2+1/3.5.

1 divided by a greater number is smaller than 1 divided by smaller number.

Hence correct answer is option B.
