Detailed Solution

The equivalent capacitance of the arrangement here is 

1C=1C1+1C2+1C3C=203μF

The potential difference across the combination is 90V and hence the total charge is

Q=CV=203×10-6×90=6×10-4C=600μC

Since all the capacitors are in series and hence all capacitors will have the same charge given by

Q=CV

The potential difference across each capacitor will be in the inverse ratio of their capacitances

So the potential difference across C1 is 30V, the potential difference across C2 is 20V and the potential difference across C3 is 40V
