Consider a file of size 4 million bytes being transferred between two hosts connected via a path consisting of three consecutive links of bandwidth 2 Mbps, 500 kbps, and 1 Mbps, respectively. All processing delays and propagation delays are negligible. Assume that there is no other background traffic over the path and no other additional overhead to transfer the file.
Which one of the following is the total time (in seconds) to transfer the file?
Note: 1M=\(10^{6}\), 1k=\(10^{3}\)
