D
Correct answer
Explanation
x^2(x-3) = 0 implies x=0 or x=3. If x=0, Quantity A < Quantity B. If x=3, Quantity A > Quantity B. Since the value of x is not unique, the relationship cannot be determined.
AI explanation
Expanding the equation x^2(x - 3) = 0 yields x^2 = 0 or x - 3 = 0, giving the roots x = 0 and x = 3. If x = 0, then x is less than 2, but if x = 3, then x is greater than 2. Because different roots produce different relationships with 2, the relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
