We solve this question by using method of flow of charges. If a charge q flows in the closed loop in clockwise direction. Then final charges on different capacitors are as shown in figure below.

Writing the equation of potential drop in the loop we have 360q3+300q2q1.5=0

Solving the above equation, we get q=180μC

Charge on  2μF capacitor is 300-180=120μC
