A)The quantity in Column A is greater.
B)The quantity in Column B is greater.
C)The two quantities are equal.
D)The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Prime numbers are 2,3,5,7...etc

Given $p^2$ is odd , so it has be from 3,5,7.... other than 2.

We are told that $p + w < 6$

Least value of p can be 3 and w has to be 2 or else result will be greater than 6.

So w has to be 2.

col b > a.

B.
