Solution

The correct option is A Parcel 1
Calculating the number of packets for each parcel, we find:

Parcel 1:
Weight of apples=4 kg
Weight of apples in each packet=13 kg
Number of packages=4÷13


So, the number of 13's in 4 wholes is 12
Also, we can write 4÷13=12

Parcel 1 requires 12 packets.

Parcel 2:
Weight of apples=5 kg
Weight of apples in each packet=12 kg
Number of packages=5÷12


So, the number of 12's in 5 wholes is 10
Also, we can write 5÷12=10

Parcel 2 requires 10 packets.

Hence, parcel 1 requires more packets than parcel 2.
