Jack is person #25
Someone else is person #26
Someone else is person #27
Someone else is person #28

Someone else is person #123
Someone else is person #124
Jill is person #125
So, we want to know the number of people from 26 to 124 inclusive
A nice rule says: the number of integers from x to y inclusive equals y - x + 1
124 - 26 + 1 = 99
So, we get:
Quantity A: 99
Quantity B: 100
Answer: B

Brent
