Solution

The correct option is C 165 ml
All the units of measurement are same. After converting the numbers to like decimals, we can add all three quantities.

$25.0$
$+ 60.0$
$+ 75.5$
$¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯$
$160.5 m l$
$¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯$

160.5 will overflow in a 160 ml can. Hence, 165 ml is the minimum capacity of the can to hold the kerosene.
