Detailed Solution

Consider an infinitesimal strip of capacitor of thickness dx at a distance  x  as shown.
Capacitance of parallel plate capacitor of area  A  is given by  C=ε0At
Question Image
[Here  t=  separation between plates]
So, capacitance of thickness dx  will be    dC=ε0adxd+xtanα
Total capacitance of system can be obtained by integrating with limits  x=0  to  x=a
 Ceq=dC=aε0x=0x=adxxtanα+d
 =aε0x=0x=adxd(1+xdtanα)
 [By Binomial expansion]
 Ceq=aε0d0a(1xtanαd)dx=aε0d(xx2tanα2d)0a
 Ceq=a2ε0d=(1atanα2d)=ε0a2d(1αa2d)
