Solution

The correct option is B $\frac{5 C}{7}$
When a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K = \frac{3}{2}$ is inserted between the plates of $C_{2}$ , its new capacitance $({C_{2}}^{'})$ becomes
$({C_{2}}^{'}) = \frac{3}{2} C$
Equivalent capacitance of $({C_{2}}^{'})$ and $C_{3}$ is
$C_{e q} = {C_{2}}^{'} + C_{3} = \frac{3}{2} C + C = \frac{5 C}{2}$
Now, $C_{e q}$ and $C_{1}$ are in series. Therefore, their equivalent capacitance is
$C_{e q} = \frac{C_{e q} \times C_{1}}{C_{e q} + C_{1}} = \frac{\frac{5 C}{2} \times C}{\frac{5 C}{2} + C}$
$= \frac{5 C^{2}}{7 C} = \frac{5 C}{7}$
