Explanation / Answer

a )

3uF and 5uF are in parallel each other

the equaivalent capacitor is = 3 + 5 = 8 uF

this 8 uF is in series with 6 uF

1 / C = 1 / 8 + 1 / 8

C = 3.43 uF

the potential difference is 6 uF = 8 X 25.5 / ( 8 + 6 )

= 14.57 V

the charge on 3 uF capacitor is = 25.5 X 6 / ( 6 + 8 )

= 10.92 volts

Q = C X V

Q = 3 X 10-6 X 10.92

Q = 32.76 X 10-6

Q = 32.76 uC

b )

the charge on 5 uF capacitor is = 25.5 X 6 / ( 6 + 8 )

= 10.92 volts

Q = C X V

Q = 5 X 10-6 X 10.92

Q = 54.6 X 10-6

Q = 54.6 uC
