Thick wires	?
Thin wires	?

• A. Thick wires $=\mid \mid \mid$; Thin wires $=\mid \mid \mid \mid$
• B. Thick wires $=\mid \mid \mid \mid$; Thin wires $=\mid \mid \mid$
• C. Thick wires $=\mid \mid \mid$; Thin wires $=\mid \mid \mid$
• D. Thick wires $=$; Thin wires $=\mid \mid \mid$

Answer 1

The correct option is B Thick wires $=\mid \mid \mid \mid$; Thin wires $=\mid \mid \mid$

As we can see there are 2 types of wires—thick and thin.

So, the wires are sorted based on their thickness.

There are 4 thick wires and 3 thin wires.

We can represent the wires with the help of tally marks, as shown below.

Thick wires	$\mid \mid \mid \mid$
Thin wires	$\mid \mid \mid$

Hence, Option B is correct.
