Detailed Solution

In the combination, the capacitors 6 μF,4 μF and 8 μF are in parallel. Their capacitance is 18 μF. There arc two other capacitors of capacitance 18 μF. Now these capacitors are in series. Hence, total capacitance is 18/3=6μF.
Potential drop across each of the 6 μF, 4 μF and 8 μF capacitors is 10 V.
So, charge g across 4 μF capacitor =10×4=40 μC
