Given below are two quantities named A and B. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the two quantities. You should use the given data and knowledge of Mathematics to choose between the possible answers. Quantity I∶ Average of prime numbers less than 28 Quantity II∶ Average of first x multiples of 3 where x is equal to number of prime numbers less than 28 Correct Answer Quantity I < Quantity II

Quantity I∶

Total of prime numbers less than 28 = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 = 100

Number of prime numbers less than 28 = 9

Average of prime numbers less than 28 = 100/9 = 11.11

Quantity II∶

Sum of first 9 multiples of 3 = 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 21 + 24 + 27 = 135

Average of first 9 multiples of 3 = 135/9 = 15

∴ Quantity I is less than Quantity II
