(b) ${C_{eq}} = \frac{{C \times 4C}}{{(C + 4C)}} = \frac{{4C}}{5}$
$Q = {C_{eq}}.V = \frac{{4C}}{5} \times 100 = 80\,C$
Hence ${V_1} = \frac{Q}{{{C_1}}} = \frac{{80C}}{{{C_1}}} = 80\,V$
and ${V_2} = \frac{{80C}}{{4C}} = 20\,V$

    In the circuit shown, initially there is no charge on capacitors and keys $S _1$ and $S _2$ are open. The values of the capacitors are $C _1=10 \mu F , C _2=30 \mu F$ and $C _3= C _4=80 \mu F$.

    Which of the statement($s$) is/are correct ?

    $(1)$ The keys $S _1$ is kept closed for long time such that capacitors are fully charged. Now key $S _2$ is closed, at this time, the instantaneous current across $30 \Omega$ resistor (between points $P$ and $Q$ ) will be $0.2 A$

    $(2)$ If key $S _1$ is kept closed for long time such that capacitors are fully charged, the voltage difference between points $P$ and $Q$ will be $10 V$.

    $(3)$ At time $t =0$, the key $S _1$ is closed, the instantaneous current in the closed circuit will be $25 mA$.

    $(4)$ If key $S _1$ is kept closed for long time such that capacitors are fully charged, the voltage across the capacitors $C _1$ will be $4 V$.
