Solution

The correct option is D 5003 mL
1 liter of milk is equally distributed among 6 containers.
Each container will hold 16 liter of milk.

We know 1 L=1,000 mL
Each container will hold 10006 mL of milk.

10006 mL=2×5002×3 mL=5003 mL

Let's divide 500 mL by 3 using long division.
5003 mL=166.66... mL
It is a non-terminating and repeating decimal number.
166.66... mL is represented as 166.¯6 mL.

On converting 166.¯6 mL into litre, we get:
166.¯6 mL=166.¯61000 L=0.1¯6 L
