I just want to know why this happens...

More than likely this is a limitation of the binary. If you expand the number of sigfigs on a(5) and b(100) you will likely find that some small decimal place is slightly different.

There is a small difference, as shown by subtraction:
b(100)-a(5)
To tolerate such a small difference between x and y, try this
abs(x-y) < .0001
