Solution
The correct option is D 10 A containers, 20 B containers
1 L=1,000 mL,so5 L=5×1,000=5,000 mL
First container
Capacity of each container =500 mL
Number of times the container is used =5,000÷500=10
So, 10 A containers.
Second container
Capacity of each container =100 mL
Number of times the container is used =5,000÷250=20
So, 20 B containers
Hence, option A is correct.
