Problem

A foreman noticed an inspector checking a $3$"-hole with a $2$"-plug and a $1$"-plug and suggested that two more gauges be inserted to be sure that the fit was snug. If the new gauges are alike, then the diameter, $d$, of each, to the nearest hundredth of an inch, is:

$\textbf{(A)}\ .87 \qquad  \textbf{(B) }\ .86 \qquad  \textbf{(C) }\ .83 \qquad  \textbf{(D) }\ .75 \qquad  \textbf{(E) }\ .71$

Solution
