    The correct answer is option D. 250 milliliters

    Step-by-step explanation:

    It is given that, the total capacity of two large cups and two small cups is 1,500 milliliters. If the total capacity of one large cup and two small cups is 1,000 milliliters.

    To find the capacity of a small cup

    Let small cup capacity be 's' and large cup capacity be 'l'

    From the given information we can write,

    2l + 2s = 1500

    Then l + s = 750

    one large cup and two small cups is 1,000 milliliters.

    l + 2s = 1000

    l + s + s = 1000

    (l + s) + s = 1000

    750 + s = 1000

    s = 1000 - 750 = 250

    The correct answer is option D. 250 milliliters
