Detailed Solution

In the steady state C1 and C2 are in series arrangement, their equivalent is 

Ceq=C1C2C1+C2=1.2μF

Charge on the capacitor C2,Q0=CaqV=1.2×20=24μC

When S1 is open and S2 is closed. Capacitor C2 starts discharging through the inductor and let at any time t charge on the capacitor be Q, then 

Applying Kirchhoff's voltage law,

QC2-LdIdt=0

QC2+Ld2Qdt2=0I=-dQdt

The solution of this equation is

Q=Q0sin(ωt+ϕ)

where ω=1LC2=5×104rad/s

At t=0,Q=Q0

Hence, ϕ=π2

Thus the charge on the capacitor at any time t is 

Q=Q0cosωt Ans.
