The product of the square roots of multiple numbers is equal to the square root of the product of those numbers.
I.e., \(\sqrt{2} * \sqrt{6} * \sqrt{7} = \sqrt{2*6*7} = \sqrt{84}\)
You can use the calculator to find that \(\sqrt{84}\) is about 9.165, which is greater than 9.
Also 84 > 81 (the square of 9), its square root must be greater than 9.

We need to compare the value of $\((\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{6})(\sqrt{7})\)$ with 9
Column $A$ has $\((\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{6})(\sqrt{7})=\sqrt{2 \times 6 \times 7}=\sqrt{84}\)$ which is to be compared with $\(9=\sqrt{31}\)$
Clearly $\(\sqrt{84}>\sqrt{81}\)$ i.e. column A has higher quantity.
Hence the answer is (A).
