I believe the answer is A.) the value of the IMA is always larger than the AMA (Not 100% on this, not my strongest topic, so I would double check)</span>
AMA is actual mechanical advantage in where it would compare the force in as well as out in using actual measurements in the real life or with friction while in IMA which is the ideal mechanical advantage no friction then is needed. The answer then is a. the value of IMA is larger than AMA.
