A solution that is \(20\%\) acetic acid by volume is mixed with a solution that is \(50\%\) acetic acid by volume, resulting in a mixture that is \(40\%\) acetic acid by volume. This \(40\%\) solution is then mixed with a solution that is \(10\%\) acetic acid by volume, resulting in a solution that is \(20\%\) acid by volume. What is the ratio of the volume of the \(50\%\) solution of acetic acid to the volume of the \(10\%\) of acetic acid?

A) \(1:3\)
B) \(1:2\)
C) \(1:1\)
D) \(2:1\)
E) \(3:1\)
