In five weekdays, Shea will write 5 × 10 = 50 pages and in two weekend days, Shea will write 2 × 20 = 40 pages, so in one week, Shea will write 90 pages.
Therefore, in 10 consecutive full weeks (i.e., 70 consecutive days), Shea can write 900 pages of the novel, leaving another 50 pages to be written. The least number of days it would take Shea to write 50 pages is 3 days: 2 weekend days at 20 pages per day and 1 weekday at 10 pages per day. Thus, it is possible for Shea to finish the novel in 73 days. (This assumes that Shea optimizes the start day to take advantage of as many weekends as possible.)
Therefore, the correct answer is (B): Quantity B is greater.
