Both the capacitors are in series. Therefore charge stored on them will be same.

 Net capacity $ =\frac{\mathrm{C} \times 2 \mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{C}+2 \mathrm{C}}=\frac{2 \mathrm{C}}{3}$

$=\frac{2}{3} \times 6=4\, \mu \mathrm{F}$

Potential difference $=10 \mathrm{\,V}$

$q=\mathrm{CV}=4 \times 10^{-6} \times 10=40\, \mu \mathrm{C}$
