Solution

The correct option is C C1C2=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
VAVB=VAVD
I1R1=qC1 (i)
Similarly, VBVC=VDVC
I2R2=qC2 (ii)
Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get
I1R1I2R2=q/C1q/C2=C2C1orC1C2=R2R1
