The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two quantities provided and derive the value of \( a \) based on the information given. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Averages**: - The average of three numbers \( b, c, d \) is given to be 1 more than the average of \( a, b, c \). - Mathematically, this can be expressed as: \[ \frac{b + c + d}{3} = \frac{a + b + c}{3} + 1 \] 2. **Rearranging the Equation**: - Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction: \[ b + c + d = a + b + c + 3 \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ d = a + 3 \] 3. **Average of \( a \) and \( d \)**: - We know that the average of \( a \) and \( d \) is 19.5: \[ \frac{a + d}{2} = 19.5 \] - Multiplying both sides by 2: \[ a + d = 39 \] 4. **Substituting for \( d \)**: - From the earlier step, we have \( d = a + 3 \). Substitute this into the equation \( a + d = 39 \): \[ a + (a + 3) = 39 \] - This simplifies to: \[ 2a + 3 = 39 \] 5. **Solving for \( a \)**: - Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ 2a = 36 \] - Divide by 2: \[ a = 18 \] 6. **Comparing Quantities**: - Now we have found that \( a = 18 \). - Quantity I (value of \( a \)) is 18. - Quantity II is 21. - Therefore, we compare: \[ 18 < 21 \] ### Conclusion: - Since \( a = 18 \) is less than 21, we conclude that Quantity I is less than Quantity II. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is that Quantity I is less than Quantity II. ---
