An empty tank can be filled by pipe $A$ in $4$ $h$ and by pipe $B$ in $6$ $h$. If the two pipes are opened for $1$ $h$ each alternately,starting with pipe $A$,then in how much time will the tank be filled?

  • A
    $1 \frac{3}{4} \text{ h}$
  • B
    $2 \frac{3}{5} \text{ h}$
  • C
    $4 \frac{2}{3} \text{ h}$
  • D
