Charge on C₁ = CV

Charge on C₂ = 4CV

When connected in parallel

$V_{C} = \frac{5 V}{3}$

$Q'_{1} = \frac{5}{3} C V$ $Q'_{2} = \frac{10}{3} C V$

$?$ $E = \frac{1}{2} C V^{2}$

$E' = \frac{25}{18} C V^{2} + \frac{25}{9} C V^{2}$

$\frac{25}{6} C V^{2} = \frac{50 E}{6}$

x = 50

In air $F = \frac{1}{4 π \in_{0}} \frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

In medium $F' = \frac{1}{4 π (k \in_{0})} \frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

$F' = \frac{F_{0}}{K}$
