Mixture setting on a hot day

Hi guys, I have a question which has left me a little confused.

Q: On a hot day climbing IAS and mixture setting at take-off should be:
A-Faster IAS, Mixture Rich
B-Faster IAS, Mixture Lean
C,D - Slower IAS, Mixture Rich/Lean... Wrong

I said B because obviously you use a faster IAS due to improved cooling, and a lean mixture, because you have a lower density, hence needing to reduce mixture to precent flooding and restore the correct fuel air ratio.

Problem is the quoted answer is A and i cant quite work it out
