Getting following error after the command sudo apt-get update on Ubuntu 16.04

I have no knowledge on Linux commands but I couldn't resist asking why such errors are showing after the command sudo apt-get update:

I solved this error following theses steps:

Open the Software Updates application; - In "Other Software" tab unmark all options; - In Ubuntu Software tab, "Download from:" choose "Main server" option.

Click in "Close" button and wait a minute until ubuntu reload apt-get.

Done.
