Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 15

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{C}_1=\frac{5 \times 4 \times 10^{-4} \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}{\frac{1.77}{2} \times 10^{-3}}=20 \mathrm{pF} \\ & \mathrm{C}_2=\frac{3 \times 4 \times 10^{-4} \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}{\frac{1.77}{2} \times 10^{-3}}=12 \mathrm{pF} \\ &…
