Problem

Capacitors of 2 μF2\,\mu\text{F} and 6 μF6\,\mu\text{F} are connected in parallel. This combination is connected in series with a 5 μF5\,\mu\text{F} capacitor. If the charge on the 5 μF5\,\mu\text{F} capacitor is 30 μC30\,\mu\text{C}, the emf of the battery connected across the network is closest to (a) 6.0 V6.0\,\text{V} (b) 9.8 V9.8\,\text{V} (c) 48 V48\,\text{V} (d) 15 V15\,\text{V}
