Consider the following setup and problem: https://i.sstatic.net/Oxv08.pnghttps://i.sstatic.net/Oxv08.png

When solving this problem, I had the intuition that the string tension $T_A$ would be equal to $T_B$, which does not agree with the solutions.

What would lead you to know the string tensions in both cases are, in fact, different?
