we know volume of rectangular solid - length * breadth * height
therefore for quantity of A = 20x
For quantity B = 80y
But we donot know the value of x and y and therefore we cannot determine which one would be greater
since if x=1 and y=1 then QTY B is greater
if x=5 and y=1 then QTY A is greater
OPtion is D
