    Combination of two identical capacitors, a resistor $R$ and a $DC$ voltage source of voltage $6\; V$ is used in an experiment on $C-R$ circuit. It is found that for a parallel combination of the capacitor the time in which the voltage of the fully charged combination reduces to half its original voltage is $10\; s$. For series combination the time needed for reducing the voltage of the fully charged series combination by half is
