Two soil specimens with identical geometric dimensions were subjected to falling head permeability tests in the laboratory under identical conditions. The fall of water head was measured after an identical time interval. The ratio of initial to final water heads for the test involving the first specimen was 1.25. If the coefficient of permeability of the second specimen is 5-times that of the first, the ratio of initial to final water heads in the test involving the second specimen is (A) 3.05 (B) 3.80 (C) 4.00 (D) 6.25

Soil
Two soil specimens with identical geometric dimensions were
subjected to falling head permeability tests in the laboratory under
identical conditions. The fall of water head was measured after an
identical time interval. The ratio of initial to final water heads for
the test involving the first specimen was 1.25. If the coefficient of
permeability of the second specimen is 5-times that of the first, the
ratio of initial to final water heads in the test involving the second
specimen is
(A) 3.05 (B) 3.80 (C) 4.00 (D) 6.25
