option a says OA+OC+OB+OD and the sum is 4r (r is radius) and option B says 2 pai (3.1416) r.
now divide both sides by 2r. and u will be left with in A 2 and in B 3.1416 (pai). (dont know how to type pai) (sorry for that).
so. b is greater.

While there is no common information given about the circle and any of its components, the information given in statement 2 i.e. O is the centre of the circle is actually common information.
This helps us understand that AC and BD are the diameters of the given circle.
If the radius of the shown circle be 'r' units, then diameter = 2r units.
Quantity A = AC + BD = 2r + 2r = 4r units
Quantity B = Circumference of circle = 2*pi*r units = 6.28r units, since the approx value of pi = 3.14
Quantity B is always greater. The correct answer option should be B.
