There are 4 consumer groups of 4 quartiles. Find the share of income of each group for both A and B. Then use the population percentage, 0%, 25%. 50%, 75%, and 100% against the cumulative percentage of income. This is done below
| Percent of population | Percent of income (A) | Percent of income (B) |
| 0 | ||
| 1st 25 | 9.52 | 13.64 |
| 2nd 25 | 11.90 | 22.73 |
| 3rd 25 | 19.05 | 27.27 |
| 4th 25 | 59.52 | 36.36 |
| total = 100% | 100 | 100 |
We see that Lorenz curve for A lies below the Lorenz curve B implying that income inequality is more in A. Hence D is correct.
