Solution

Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor can be increased by introducing dielectric between the plates as the dielectric have permeability k, which is greater than 1.

If you introduce a conductor plate between two plates of capacitor , It will seem like two capacitors added in series , so capacitance will decrease , But total charges in the system remain same , and the voltage at the plates end will increase.
