From charge conservation

$\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{C}_{1}}=\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{C}_{2}}$

$(5-\mathrm{V}) \times \mathrm{C}_{1}=(\mathrm{v}+10) \times \mathrm{C}_{2} ; 5-\mathrm{V}=(\mathrm{V}+10) 2$

$-15=3 \mathrm{V} \Rightarrow \mathrm{V}=-5 \mathrm{V}$

$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times(10)^{2}=50 \mu \mathrm{J} ; \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{C}_{2}}$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times(5)^{2}=25 \mu \mathrm{J}$

$\Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{C}_{1}}=\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{C}_{1}}$
