The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to compare Quantity A and Quantity B given the conditions \(0 < p < q < r\). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Inequalities**: - We have three variables: \(p\), \(q\), and \(r\). - The relationships are: \(0 < p < q < r\). 2. **Identifying the Quantities**: - **Quantity A**: \(pq\) (the product of \(p\) and \(q\)) - **Quantity B**: \(qr\) (the product of \(q\) and \(r\)) 3. **Analyzing the Inequalities**: - Since \(p < q < r\), we know that both \(p\) and \(r\) are greater than \(0\). - We can multiply the inequalities without changing their direction because all numbers involved are positive. 4. **Multiplying the Inequalities**: - We can multiply the inequality \(p < q\) by \(q\) (which is positive): \[ pq < q^2 \] - Next, we can multiply the inequality \(q < r\) by \(q\) (which is also positive): \[ q^2 < qr \] 5. **Combining the Results**: - From the two inequalities derived: \[ pq < q^2 < qr \] - This implies: \[ pq < qr \] 6. **Conclusion**: - Since \(pq < qr\), we conclude that Quantity A (\(pq\)) is less than Quantity B (\(qr\)). - Therefore, the correct choice is that Quantity B is greater than Quantity A. ### Final Answer: **Quantity B is greater than Quantity A.**
