To analyze the situation, we can use Ohm's Law, which states that \( V = I \cdot R \), where \( V \) is voltage, \( I \) is current, and \( R \) is resistance.

Circuit A has a resistance of \( R_A = 7.5 \, \Omega \) and Circuit B has a resistance of \( R_B = 5 \, \Omega \).

1. **If the current in circuit A is less than the current in circuit B**:
- Let \( I_A < I_B \).
- Voltage in circuit A: \( V_A = I_A \cdot R_A \)
- Voltage in circuit B: \( V_B = I_B \cdot R_B \)
- If \( I_A < I_B \) and knowing resitance, \( R_A > R_B \), we cannot conclude that \( V_A < V_B \).

2. **If the current in circuit A is equal to the current in circuit B**:
- Let \( I_A = I_B \).
- Then \( V_A = I_A \cdot 7.5 \) and \( V_B = I_A \cdot 5 \).
- Since \( 7.5 > 5 \), it follows that \( V_A > V_B \).

3. **If the voltage of circuit A is equal to the voltage of circuit B**:
- Here, \( V_A = V_B \).
- That means \( I_A \cdot 7.5 = I_B \cdot 5 \).
- Given that \( R_A > R_B \), this would require \( I_A < I_B \) for the voltages to remain equal.

Based on this analysis, the correct statement is:
- **If the voltage of circuit A is equal to the voltage of circuit B, then the current in circuit A is less than the current in circuit B.**

This is the only universally true statement given the values of resistance in the two circuits.
