• D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The two quantities are equal

Answer 2

Number of girls = $300$
No. of girls wearing spectacles = $25\% \;of \;300 = 75$
No. of girls not wearing spectacles = $25\% \;of\; 300 = 225$
Ratio of girls wearing spectacles to girls not wearing spectacles
= $75:225 =1:3$
Hence Quantity A = Quantity B

The correct option is (A): The two quantities are equal
