Combination of Capacitors

Three parallel plate air capacitors are connected in parallel. Each capacitor has plate area A/3 and separation between the plates is d, 2d and 3d respectively. The equivalent capacity of the combination is ( $\epsilon_0$ -permittivity of free space)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

Parallel: $C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{3d}\left(1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}\right)$ .
$C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{3d} \cdot \frac{11}{6} = \frac{11\epsilon_0 A}{18d}$
So the answer is (c).
