Take two numbers that satisfy the given condition
For eg. \(6,12\); both are even and multiple of \(3\)
When \(6\) is divided by \(12\) remainder is\(6\)
when \(12\) is divided by \(12\) remainder is \(0\)
In the first scenario A = B
In the second scenario A<B
Hence option D

If n is an even integer and a multiple of 3, then 2 and 3 are its factors.
The smallest such number is 6. In fact n will always be a multiple of 6
If 6 is divided by 12, the remainder is 6. Both Quantities are Equal.
If 12 is divided by 12, the remainder is 0. Quantity A is less than Quantity B
If 18 is divided by 12, the remainder is 6. Both Quantities are equal.
Therefore, it is Choice D - The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
