Solution
The correct option is DR1R2<C2C1 The charge on capacitor at any time t is q=qmax(1−e−t/CR)
As the qmax of the both curve is same so both capacitor will be charged to same charge.
As (2) curve take more time for maximum charging so time constant of curve (2) is greater than (1). i.e, τ2>τ1⇒C2R2>C1R1
