Correct Answer: 67. (1)
Solution: 67. (1) Quantity - I :
Quantity of sand
$=\frac{900 \times 45}{100}=405 \mathrm{kg}$.
$\therefore$ Quantity of cement
$=(900-405-144) \mathrm{kg}$.
$=351 \mathrm{kg}$
$\therefore$ Percentage of cement
$=\frac{351}{900} \times 100=39 \%$
Quantity - II :
Original number of apples with the vendor $=100$
Number of apples thrown on day
one $=\frac{40 \times 15}{100}=6$
On day two,
Remaining apples
$=40-6=34$
$\therefore$ Number of apples thrown $=17$
$\therefore$ Percentage of apples thrown
$=17+6=23$
i.e., $23 \%$
Clearly, quantity I > quantity II
