Two parallel plate capacitors whose capacities are C and 2C respectively, are joined in parallel. These are charged by V potential difference. If the battery is now removed and a dielectric of dielectric constant K is filled in between the plates of the capacitor C, then, what will be the potential difference across each capacitor?

A parallel-plate capacitor of plate area A and plate separation d is charged to potential difference V and then, the battery is disconnected. A slab of dielectric constant K is, then, inserted between the plates of the capacitor. So, as to fill the space between the plates. If Q, E and W denote the magnitude of charge on each plate, the electric field between the plates (after the slab is inserted) and the work done on the system, in the process of inserting the slab respectively, then, choose the incorrect option based on the given information.
