Given: \(\frac{4}{a}=\frac{b}{4}\)
Cross multiply to get: \(ab=16\)
There are many pairs of values (of a and b) that satisfy the equation \(ab=16\). Here are two cases:
case i: \(a=16\) and \(b=1\)
We get:
Quantity A: 16
Quantity B: 1
In this case, Quantity A is greater
case ii: \(a=1\) and \(b=16\)
Quantity A: 1
Quantity B: 16
In this case, Quantity B is greater
Answer: D
