Two capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2=$ $2 C _1$ are connected in a circuit with a switch between them as shown in the figure.Initially the switch is open and $C _1$ holds charge $Q$. The switch is closed. At steady state, the charge on each capacitor will be
  • A$Q , 2 Q$
  • B$\frac{Q}{3}, \frac{2 Q}{3}$
  • C$\frac{3 Q}{2}, 3 Q$
  • D$\frac{2 Q }{3}, \frac{4 Q }{3}$
