The correct answer is: 13CV2
When K1 is closed upper circuit is connected to source





Q=CV  

Energy U1=12CV2

When K2 is also closed complete circuit is connected to source



Therefore the Equivalent circuit



Cequi=C+2C3=5C3

Uf=125C3V2=5C6V2

Charge supplied by battery after closing K2 is

Q=53CV-CV=23CV

Energy supplied by battery =Uf-Ui+H

2CV2=56CV2-12CV2+H

3

H=13CV2
