Solution:

Concept:

Convert each percentage expression into a simple multiplication and compare the two final values.

Explanation:

For Column A: half of

60\%

of 30 means

\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{60}{100} \times 30

This gives

0.5 \times 0.6 \times 30 = 9

For Column B:

\frac{1}{5}

th of

50\%

of 60 means

\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{50}{100} \times 60

This gives

0.2 \times 0.5 \times 60 = 6

Since

9 > 6
