Solution
The correct option is D5003 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.¯61000L=0.1¯6L
