Let's say there are two girls, Nancy and Kelly.
A:"Can I say," Nancy and she, who is hotter ?"( If I want to ask my friend which of them is hotter.)
B:Or should I say", Nancy and her, who is hotter? "
I know I can say" Nancy and Kelly,who is hotter?"
But I want to know A and B which one is correct ?
Please provide some example, thanks in advance.

Since it's a choice between the two, it should be "who's hotter, Nancy or her?"

If you rephrase the question to "Who is hotter? Nancy or ....?" maybe that would make things clear up a bit. I say "... or she" since the answer to the question would be "She is..", definitely not "her is...". Subject, people, not object. Anyone who has the nerve to say "her is..." must go back to junior high English.

Basically, this sentace is missing some words...
"Between Nancy and ___, who is hotter?"
If you were to combine the two individuals and use one plural pronoun (they/them), which would you use?
If you were to use "they," then in the original sentence you would use "she." On the other hand, if you were to use "them," then in the original, you'd use "her."
So, both of these wordings are correct.
"Between the two of THEM, who's hotter?"
"Between Nancy and HER, who's hotter?"

"He and she" would be the correct answer, because for whichever verb He uses, she will use too. He sings and she sings. He and she sing.
So A), "Nancy and she, who is hotter" would be correct. Nancy is hot. She is hot too.
In B), "her" is a pronoun used as an object, not a subject, so it's incorrect.

"A" is correct: Nancy and she is hotter.
What you would do is say it without the "Nancy." Then see if it makes sense. So:
A: She is hotter
B: Her is hotter
Obviously, "A" makes more sense......

I would have to go with "she," because you can isolate it to say "she is hotter," whereas you can't do that with "her."
It might be better to use "or" in that sentence.
Hope that helps!

It would be Nancy and her.
examples:
Her and Emily are going to the store.
Mat and her will be here in about five minutes.
Hope I could help.
