\(@x=x^2-11\) and \(\divideontimes x=x^2-x+11\)
\(@2=2^2-11\) = \(-7\) & \(\divideontimes 2=2^2-2+11\) = \(13\)
\(@3=3^2-11\) = \(-2\) & \(\divideontimes 3=3^2-3+11\) = \(17\)
Qt A
\(@2\divideontimes 3\) = \(10\)
Qt B
\(\divideontimes 2@3\) = \(11\)
Qt B > Qt A
Answer B
\(@2=2^2-11\) = \(-7\) & \(\divideontimes 2=2^2-2+11\) = \(13\)
\(@3=3^2-11\) = \(-2\) & \(\divideontimes 3=3^2-3+11\) = \(17\)
Qt A
\(@2\divideontimes 3\) = \(10\)
Qt B
\(\divideontimes 2@3\) = \(11\)
Qt B > Qt A
Answer B

Answer B
The solution is wrong after getting the individual value.
Why did u perform Multiplication? its not specified
QTA= -7+17=10 QTB=13-2= 11
THUS QTB IS GREATER.
