[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the depth of the oil in the container, we first need to calculate the volume of the oil.

Given that 2.5 litres of oil is poured into the container, we can convert this volume to cubic centimeters as follows:

2.5 litres = 2500 cubic centimeters

Next, we need to calculate the area of the square cross-section of the container:

Area = side x side
Area = 12.5 cm x 12.5 cm
Area = 156.25 square cm

Now, we can calculate the depth of the oil in the container by dividing the volume of oil by the area of the cross-section:

Depth = Volume/Area
Depth = 2500 cubic cm / 156.25 square cm
Depth = 16 cm

Therefore, the depth of the oil in the container is 16 cm.
