Solution

The correct option is D 5 kg
Weight of each tablet = 10 mg
Total number of tablets = 500000
Total weight of all the tablets = $500000 \times 10 = 5000000 m g$
Since 1 gram = 1000 mg, $5000000 m g = \frac{5000000}{1000} g r a m s = 5000 g r a m s$
Since 1 kg = 1000 grams, $\frac{5000}{1000} k g = 5 k g$
