It's a nice question.
It is given that ABC is an isosceles triangle.
AB = 5 & AC = 11
Qt A
Now BC can be either 5 or 11. BUT BC can not be 5. ( The sum of the two smaller sides should be more than the largest side)
If we take BC = 5 so \(AB + BC < AC\) :: This is not right. It should be \(AB + BC > AC\)
Hence BC = 11
Qt A > Qt B
