Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 21 hours

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( R_A + R_B + R_C = \frac{1}{3} \) \( R_B = 2R_A \), \( R_C = 2R_B = 4R_A \) \( R_A + 2R_A + 4R_A = \frac{1}{3} \) \( 7R_A = \frac{1}{3} \) \( R_A = \frac{1}{21} \) \( T_A = \frac{1}{R_A} = 21 \text{ hours} \)
