B Correct answer
Explanation

Quantity I: 20% loss on 18,900 is 18,900 * 0.8 = 15,120. Quantity II: 10% profit means 1.1 * CP = 17,600, so CP = 17,600 / 1.1 = 16,000. Since 15,120 < 16,000, Quantity I < Quantity II.

AI explanation

For Quantity I, using the loss percentage formula, the selling price is 18900 * 0.80 = 15120. For Quantity II, using the cost price formula, the cost price equals 17600 / 1.10 = 16000. Comparing the two values shows 15120 is less than 16000, so Quantity I is less than Quantity II.
