The correct answer is: 9
Potential difference across the branch de is

$6 \mathrm{~V}$. Net capacitance of de branch is $2.1 \mu \mathrm{F}$ So, $q=C V$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{q}=2.1 \times 6 \mu \mathrm{C} \quad \Rightarrow \mathrm{q}=12.6 \mu \mathrm{C}$

Potential across $3 \mu \mathrm{F}$ capacitance is $\mathrm{V}=\frac{12.6}{3}=4.2 \mathrm{volt}$

Potential across 2 and 5 combination in parallel is $6-4.2=1.8 \mathrm{~V}$

So, $q^{\prime}=(1.8)(5)=9 \mu C$
