Detailed Solution

So the charge acquired on the right plate of 5μF capacitor will equal to some of the charges on the 4µF and 3µF.

Let q µC be the charge on the left plate of the 4 µF capacitor. Then the charge on the left plate of the 3 µF capacitor will be (7-q) µC. Since the potential difference across the 3 µF capacitor = potential difference across the 4 µF capacitor,

7-q3=q4q=4.0 μC
