• D. If comparison cannot be made.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

If quantities A and B are equal

Answer 2

Let the number of stamps with Mukesh and Vijay be 100 each
If they give half of the stamps to Sharon then,
Mukesh will have 50 stamps, Vijay will have 50 stamps and Sharon will have 100 stamps
A) The average number of stamps that Mukesh and Vijay have before giving Sharon any stamps = (100 + 100)/2 = 100
B) The number of stamps that Sharon gets from Mukesh and Vijay = (50 + 50) = 100
Both the quantities are equal.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.The correct option is (C): If quantities A and B are equal
