If I use a different numbers e.g a=1and b=2 then the answer will be option (B) since 1/2 is smaller than 1 which is 1^2.
Thanks

Haifa, but if use different numbers, the answer will not be B, so therefore we don't have enough information

Hi Mourya,
Subconsciously, we often think that different letters stand for different numbers. But there is no such convention in mathematics. Unless stated otherwise, different letters can represent the same number. So, x can equal y, and they can both equal, say, 5:
x = y = 5

Reply: I agree with Bobbili. What is the point of two variables if they are equal values? You might as well right a/a if this is the case regardless if maths has this convention. This type of problem should be eliminated from tests.
