Two capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2 = 2C_1$ 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$Q,\,2Q$
  • B$Q/3,\,2Q/3$
  • C$3Q/2,\,3Q$
  • D$2Q/3,\,4Q/3$
