Detailed Solution

Before closing the switch

Question Image

Q=CeqV=C1C2C1+C2V1-V2

Q=65×1μC

Initial energy stored capacitors = Q22C1+Q22C2

=6522×3+6522×2=35μJ

After closing the switch 

Question Image

Q2=10μC

Q1=18μC

Final energy stored in capacitor

U=12×362+12×252

U=79μJ

Work done by batteries = 6Q1Q+5Q+Q2

=156.8μJH= work done by battery - change in potential energy of capacitors =156.87935=78.4μJ
