by equivatent circuit diagram charge on first plate

$\mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{CV}$

$Q = \frac{{{ \in _0}AV}}{d}$

Charge on fourth plate

${{\rm{Q}}^\prime } = {\rm{C}}( - {\rm{V}})\quad {{\rm{Q}}^\prime } = \frac{{ - { \in _0}{\rm{AV}}}}{{\rm{d}}}$

As plate $4$ is repeated twice, hence charge on $4$ will be $\mathrm{Q}^{\prime \prime}=2 \mathrm{Q}^{\prime}$

$\mathrm{Q}^{\prime \prime}=-\frac{2 \in_{0} \mathrm{AV}}{\mathrm{d}}$
