Detailed Solution

As capacitor offer infinite resistance for DC circuit. So current from cell will not flow across branch of 4μF and 10Ω. So current will flow across 2 ohm branch.

So Potential Difference (PD) across 2Ω resistance V = RI = 2 x 1 = 2 Volt. As battery, capacitor and 2 branches are in parallel. So PD will remain same across all three branches. As current does not flow through capacitor branch, so no potential drop will be across 10Ω. So PD across 4μF capacitor = 2 Volt Q = C V = 2μF x 2 V = 8μC
