Answer 1

The correct option is D Caps in container A > Caps in container C


By rounding off 74,161 to the nearest 10,000, we get 70,000.

By rounding off 68,128 to the nearest 10,000, we get 70,000.


By rounding off 84,108 to the nearest 10,000, we get 80,000.

Hence,
Toys in container A > Toys in container C is incorrect.
