Solution
The correct option is A3833 By folding lower side over upper side we get. The circuit is symmetric along the vertical line going through the centre of the circuit. Therefore, the following alteration can be made.
Now by, comibing the resistors in series and parallel, the circuit gets converted to,
The potential difference across 'C' is assumed to be y and, the potential difference across the vertical '2C' is x.
By applying KCL at the node on the top right corner and at node P, the following equations can be obtained.
3c(100-2x)+2c(y-x) = 2cx ⇒ 5x - y = 150 --(1)
2c(y-x)+cy = 2c(100 - 2y) ⇒ 7y - 2x = 200 --(2)
Solving (1) and (2)
x = 125033 and y=130033
The charge suppied by the battery is 2cx + cy. Say, the equivalent capacitance is Ceq. Then, 2cx+cy=100Ceq Ceq=3833
