According to the problem,
q<p<r

Quantity A : p-q
Quantity B : p-r

Case 1: p,q,r>0
Quantity A >0
Quantity B <0
A is bigger than B.

Case 2: p,r>0 q<0
Quantity A >0
Quantity B <0
A is bigger than B.

Case 3: r>0 p,q<0
Quantity A >0 {still... example: p = -2, q = -5, p-q=3}
Quantity B <0
A is bigger than B.

Case 4: p,q,r<0
Quantity A >0 {still... example: p = -2, q = -5, p-q=3}
Quantity B <0 {still... example: p = -2, r = -1, p-r=-1}
A is bigger than B.

Option (A) is right.

If p is to the right of q on the number line, then p > q. Similarly, if p is to the left of r on the number line, then p < r. Therefore, p − q > 0 and p − r < 0. Thus, Quantity A is greater.
