B Correct answer
Explanation

Speed of car = 180 / 3 = 60 km/hr. Speed of motorcycle = 180 / 4 = 45 km/hr. Quantity B (60) is greater than Quantity A (45).

AI explanation

Using the formula for average speed, the car's speed is 180 kilometers divided by 3 hours, which equals 60 kilometers per hour. The motorcycle's speed is 180 kilometers divided by 4 hours, which equals 45 kilometers per hour. Since 60 is greater than 45, Quantity B is greater.
