Effective capacitance of parallel combination of two capacitors $\mathrm{C}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{C}_{2}$ is $10\; \mu \mathrm{F}$. When these capacitors are individually connected to a voltage source of $1\; \mathrm{V},$ the energy stored in the capacitor $\mathrm{C}_{2}$ is $4$ times that of $\mathrm{C}_{1}$. If these capacitors are connected in series, their effective capacitance will be
  • A$3.2\; \mu \mathrm{F}$
  • B$8.4\; \mu \mathrm{F}$
  • C$1.6\; \mu \mathrm{F}$
  • D$4.2\; \mu \mathrm{F}$
