Parallel Plate Capacitor · Capacitance of parallel plates

Two circular plates each of radius 'rr' are kept parallel to each other distance 'dd' apart. The capacitance of the capacitor formed is 'C1C_1 '. If the radius of each of the plates is increased to 3\sqrt{3} times the earlier radius and their distance of separation decreased to half the initial value, the capacitance now becomes 'C2C_2'. The ratio C1:C2C_1 : C_2 is
