Detailed Solution

The current distribution is shown in figure. As we know that in steady state no current will flow in the two branches consisting of capacitors.

Question Image

From figure the currents in the two loops are given as

i1=244+2=4A  and  i2=183+6=2A

In the figure we consider a potential x at the right plate of the 2 μF capacitor and zero at the left plate of this capacitor 

 Also, the values of charges on each plate is shown in figure.

qA=qB

2x=3(18-x+12)5x=90x=18V

Charge on 2 μF capacitor is given as q2μF=2×18=36μC
Charge on 3 μF capacitor is given as q3μF=3×(186)=36μC
