-
all four containers can hold 4 pound of flour.
therefore

{ Total flour subtracted by flour present = flour required }
therefore, 4 - (flour already present) = flour required
=> 4/1-(1/3+1/6+1/9+1/18) = flour required
=> (72-6-3-2-1)/18 { Taking 18 as LCM } = flour required
=> 60/18 = flour required { Divisible by three }
=> 10/3 = flour required
so the answer is e) 10/3 = flour required
