Quantity A is \(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{12} \)
Quantity B is \(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{4}\)
Now \(\frac{5}{12} > \frac{3}{12}\) and \(\frac{3}{12}\) equals \(\frac{1}{4}\), thus \(\frac{5}{12} \)> \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Thus Quantity A is greater than Quantity B
Quantity B is \(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{4}\)
Now \(\frac{5}{12} > \frac{3}{12}\) and \(\frac{3}{12}\) equals \(\frac{1}{4}\), thus \(\frac{5}{12} \)> \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Thus Quantity A is greater than Quantity B
