Solution

The correct option is B Q1Q2=C1C2
Let the charge on two sphere initially are q1 & q2. Now when these two capacitors (spheres) are kept in contact with each other and separated. Then charges on the two spheres are,

Let Q1 & Q2 are the final charges on spheres. So, final charge will be conserved.
Q1+Q2=q1+q2

Q1Q2=C1V1C2V2

The charge will flow until the potential of both the spheres becomes the same.
Q1Q2=C1VC2V

Q1Q2=C1C2
