The correct answer is: 400

Under the balanced condition, the capacitor will act as an open circuit.

The current i1 through the 1 Ω resistor is given by

i1=10 V1 Ω+2 Ω=103 A

The current i2 through the 6 Ω resistor is given by

i2=10 V6 Ω+4 Ω=1 A

From the above diagram, it can be written that

VA+i1×1-i2×6=VBVA-VB=1×6-103×1=83 V

Hence, the charge on the capacitor is given by

Q=CVA-VB=150 μF×83 V=400 μC
