Correct Answer

B

Explanation

Q5=C5V=5*10-6*20=10-4CQ10=C10V;=10*10-6*20 =2*10-4CTo find the charges stored in capacitors P and Q, we can use the formula:

Q = C * V

where Q is the charge stored in the capacitor, C is the capacitance, and V is the voltage across the capacitor.

However, in the given diagram, the voltage across the capacitors is not provided. Without the voltage information, we cannot calculate the charges stored in capacitors P and Q.

If you have the voltage values across the capacitors, please provide them, and I will be able to assist you further in calculating the charges stored in P and Q.
