We have three identical metallic spheres $A, B$ and $C$. $A$ is given a charge $Q$, and $B$ and $C$ are uncharged. The following processes of touching of two spheres are carried out in succession. Each process is carried out with sufficient time.
$(i)$ $A$ and $B$      $(ii)$ $B$ and $C$
$(iii)$ $C$ and $A$      $(iv)$ $A$ and $B$
$(v)$ $B$ and $C$
The final charges on the spheres are

  • A

    $\frac{{11Q}}{{32}},\frac{{5Q}}{{16}},\frac{{11Q}}{{32}}$

  • B

    $\frac{{11Q}}{{32}},\frac{{11Q}}{{32}},\frac{{5Q}}{{16}}$

  • C

    $\frac{{8Q}}{8},\frac{{5Q}}{{16}},\frac{{5Q}}{{16}}$

  • D

    $\frac{{5Q}}{16},\frac{{11Q}}{{32}},\frac{{11Q}}{{32}}$
