Solution

The correct option is C 3/22
The charge flowing through C4 is
q4=C4×V=4CV
The series combination of C1, C2 and C3
1C=1C+12C+13C
1C=6+3+26C=116CC=6C11
Now, C and C4 form parallel combination giving
C=C+C4=6C11+4C=50C11
Net charge, q=CV=5011CV
Total charge flowing through C1, C2 and C3 will be
q=qq4=5011CV4CV=6CV11
Since, C1, C2, C3 are in series combination. Hence, charge flowing through these will be same.
Hence, q2=q1=q3=q=6CV11
Thus, q2q4=6CV/114CV=322
