Experiment with various integers for aa and bb that fulfill the equation a2=b3a2=b3, like choosing a=8a=8 and b=4b=4. These values satisfy the equation since 82=43=6482=43=64. In this instance, Quantity A is greater. As Quantity B isn’t always greater, nor are the two quantities consistently equal, options (B) and (C) can be disregarded. Now, attempt different numbers. For a second set of numbers, opt for something less conventional, such as setting a=b=1a=b=1. Once again, these numbers fulfill the equation presented in the problem. However, this time, the quantities are equal. Since Quantity A isn’t invariably greater, option (A) can now be eliminated. Thus, the correct answer is (D).
