    In the circuit shown, initially there is no charge on capacitors and keys $S _1$ and $S _2$ are open. The values of the capacitors are $C _1=10 \mu F , C _2=30 \mu F$ and $C _3= C _4=80 \mu F$.

    Which of the statement($s$) is/are correct ?

    $(1)$ The keys $S _1$ is kept closed for long time such that capacitors are fully charged. Now key $S _2$ is closed, at this time, the instantaneous current across $30 \Omega$ resistor (between points $P$ and $Q$ ) will be $0.2 A$

    $(2)$ If key $S _1$ is kept closed for long time such that capacitors are fully charged, the voltage difference between points $P$ and $Q$ will be $10 V$.

    $(3)$ At time $t =0$, the key $S _1$ is closed, the instantaneous current in the closed circuit will be $25 mA$.

    $(4)$ If key $S _1$ is kept closed for long time such that capacitors are fully charged, the voltage across the capacitors $C _1$ will be $4 V$.
