Detailed Solution

Center plates make an arrangement equivalent to system shown in figure.

Question Image

So we have two capacitors with same potential difference V and total charge Q.

Also, C1=ε0Ad,C2=ε0A2d

Q1+Q2=Q

and V1=V2=V

Then, Q1C1=Q2C2Q1dε0A=Q22dε0A

Q1=2Q2;2Q2+Q2=Q

So, Q2=Q3

Charge on lower plate is -Q3

and Q1=2Q3, charge on upper plate is-2Q3

Also, ΔV=Q1C1=2Qd3ε0A
