Grapes constitute a majority of the mixture.
Implication:
The cost per pound of the mixture -- Quantity A -- must be closer to the grape price ($1.69) than to the strawberry price ($2.19).
Quantity B ($2) is closer to the strawberry price ($2.19).
Since Quantity B is closer to $2.19, while Quantity A is closer to $1.69, Quantity B must be greater than Quantity A.

Weighted Average: [6(1.69) + 4(2.19)] / (6+4) = $1.89.

Since Qty A of 1.89 < 2, Answer B.
