Four capacitors are connected as shown in the figure. Their capacities are indicated in the figure. The effective capacitance between points \[x\] and \[y\] is (in\[\mu F\])                                                                                                [RPET 1997]

A)                    \[\frac{5}{6}\]

B)                    \[\frac{7}{6}\]

C)                    \[\frac{8}{3}\]

D)                    2

Correct Answer: C

Solution :

           The given circuit can be simplified as follows            Þ \[{{C}_{xy}}=\frac{2}{3}+2=\frac{8}{3}\mu F\]
