Two identical capacitors have same capacitance $C$. One of them is charged to the potential $\mathrm{V}$ and other to the potential $2 \mathrm{~V}$. The negative ends of both are connected together. When the positive ends are also joined together, the decrease in energy of the combined system is :
  • A$\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{CV}^2$
  • B$2 \mathrm{CV}^2$
  • C$\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{CV}^2$
  • D$\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{CV}^2$
