Some primes: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41,....

There are 4 primes (11, 13, 17, and 19) between 10 and 20
There are 2 primes (31, 37) between 30 and 40

We get:
QUANTITY A: 4
QUANTITY B: 2

Answer: A

Cheers,
Brent

If one can remember 44 223 223 21
Then you know the number of primes for each row of numbers, for the 1's through all the tens.

Quantity A: The number of prime numbers between 10 and 20

Prime numbers between 10 and 20 are 11, 13, 17, 19 => 4

Quantity B: The number of prime numbers between 30 and 40

Prime numbers between 30 and 40 are 31, 37=> 2

Clearly, Quantity A(4) > Quantity B(2)

So, Answer will be A.
Hope it helps!
