A. Quantity A is greater
2015: total is 2,500 * 12 = 30,000 units
Goal for 4 years avg is 200% of 2015, i.e., 30,000 * 3 = 90,000.
So 30,000 + n = 90,000 * 4. 4 due to 4 years (2015 to 2018).
n > 300,000
2015: total is 2,500 * 12 = 30,000 units
Goal for 4 years avg is 200% of 2015, i.e., 30,000 * 3 = 90,000.
So 30,000 + n = 90,000 * 4. 4 due to 4 years (2015 to 2018).
n > 300,000

I didn't understood why we have to multiply by 4 for the sake of 4 years. The question says that it average has to be increased by 200% from 2015 through 2018 so 90,000 is already the increased amt. after 4 years. Why we still have to multiply?
