The correct answer is: 7.2μC

In steady state, capacitor behaves as open circuit, so no current will flow.

The total resistance of the circuit is, R=6+4 Ω=10 Ω

The current flowing through the circuit is

I=3 V10 Ω

Potential difference on 6 Ω resistor

V'=310×6=1.8 V

The charge on the capacitor is,

Q=CV'=4 μF×1.8 V=7.2 μC
