Detailed Solution

The situation is shown in figure, when the switch is closed the charge flows from 2μf capacitor to 4µf capacitor till both acquires the same potential 

Question Image

Let final common potential of capacitors is V, then from conservation of charge

2μf×4V=2μf×V+4μf×VV=86 Volt =43 Volt 

So total final energy stored in capacitors is. 

ΣU1=2μf×V22+4×V22ΣUf=62×432=163μJ
