Kudos for correct
solution.
Now lets consider two values
1st case let x=-0.1 , y =-0.2 . z =-0.3 (since we have to maintain the statement 0>x>y>z>-1)
Now QTY A = \(\frac{x}{y} = \frac{-0.1}{-0.2} = 0.5\)
QTY B = \(\frac{y}{z}= \frac{-0.2}{-0.3}= 0.6\)
Here QTY b >QTY a
Again if we consider
x=-0.2 , y =-0.4 . z =-0.9
Now QTY A = \(\frac{x}{y}= -\frac{0.2}{-0.4} = 0.5\)
QTY B = \(\frac{y}{z} =\frac{-0.4}{-0.9} = 0.4\)
So QTY a >QTY b.
Hence the option is D
