Solution
The correct option is CC1C2=R2R1 In the steady state, no current is passing through the capacitor. Let the charge on each capacitor be q. Since the current through galvanometer is zero, I1=I2 The potential difference between the ends of the galvanometer will be zero. Therefore VA−VB=VA−VD I1R1=qC1 (i) Similarly, VB−VC=VD−VC I2R2=qC2 (ii) Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get I1R1I2R2=q/C1q/C2=C2C1orC1C2=R2R1
