The cold water leak alone would fill an empty bucket in c hours, and the hot water leak alone will fill the same bucket in h hours, where c < h. If both fixtures began to leak at the same time into the empty bucket at their respective constant rates and consequently it tool t hours to fill the bucket, which of the following must be true?
I. \(0 < t < h\)
II. \(c < t < h\)
III. \(\frac{c}{2} < t < \frac{h}{2}\)
A. I only
B. II only
C. III only
D. I and II
E. I and III
The OA is E
