For changing the capacitance of a given paralle plate capacitor, a dielectric material of dielectric constant K is used, which has the same area as the plates of the capacitor. The thickness of the dielectric slab is 34d, where d is the separation between the plates of parallel plate capacitor. The new capacitance C' in terms of original capacitance C0 is given by the following relation :

The correct answer is: C'=4K K+3C0

C0=ϵ0A d

C'=C1 and C2 in series.

i.e. 1C'=1C1+1C2

1C'=3d/4ϵ0KA+d/4ϵ0 A

1C'=d4ϵ0A3+KK

C'=4KC03+K
