Charge across 5 μF capacitor 10 μC . 
Potential difference across 5 μF capacitor is qC=10×10-65×10-6=2 volt 
As 3, 4 and 5μF capacitors are in parallel, so potential difference across each of the them equals to 2V. 

Charge on 3μF capacitor = CV = 3 x 10-6C x 2V= 6μC
Charge of 4μF capacitor = 4 x 10-6 x 2 = 8μ
Total charge flowing in upper branch of circuit is 10μC+6μC+8μC=24μC
Potential difference across C2 is 24μC4μC=6V
Total potential difference across AB is =6+2=8V 

Equivalent capacitance of lower branch of circuit is 6×36+3=2μF
So, charge flowing is = 2 x 10-6 x 8 = 16μC
Therefore, potential difference between A and C is 16μC3μF=163=5.33 V
