A parallel plate capacitor has a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K$ between its plates that covers $1 / 3$ of the area of its plates, as shown in the figure. The total capacitance of the capacitor is $C$ while that of the portion with dielectric in between is $C _1$. When the capacitor is charged, the plate area covered by the dielectric gets charge $Q_1$ and the rest of the area gets charge $Q_2$. Choose the correct option/options, igonoring edge effects.

$(A)$ $\frac{E_1}{E_2}=1$ $(B)$ $\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{1}{K}$ $(C)$ $\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}=\frac{3}{K}$ $(D)$ $\frac{ C }{ C _1}=\frac{2+ K }{ K }$
