Two condensers of capacities $2C$ and $C$ are joined in parallel and charged upto potential $V$. The battery is removed and the condenser of capacity $C$ is filled completely with a medium of dielectric constant $K$. The $p.d.$ across the capacitors will now be
  • A$\frac{{3V}}{{K + 2}}$
  • B$\frac{{3V}}{K}$
  • C$\frac{V}{{K + 2}}$
  • D$\frac{V}{K}$
