Formula: Area of Sector with center angle θ is given by $$\frac{θ}{360} * \pi r ^2$$

Given that area of sector = $$24\pi$$ and radius = 12 we have
=> $$24\pi$$ = $$\frac{θ}{360} * \pi 12 ^2$$
=> $$θ = 360 * \frac{24}{ 12^2}$$
=> θ = 60 degree

Quantity B (90) > Quantity A(60)
So, Answer is B
Hope it helps!
