Column A:
The sum of three different prime numbers if each number is less than 10.
Those primes are 2,3,5,7

Column B:
The sum of three different positive even integers if each integer is less than 10.
Those even integers are 2,4,6,8

(A)if the quantity in Column A is greater
No because 2+3+5 < 4+6+8
------
(B)if the quantity in Column B is greater
No because 2+4+6 < 7+5+3

(C)if the two quantities are equal
the sums are certainly not always equal

(D)if the relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
