Question diagram: Determine the charge on the capacitor in the following circu

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

After a long time capacitor branch will behave like open circuit so circuit will be like,

Equivalent resistance is
R=6+4||2+10 Ω = 9 Ω
and, the current through battery becomes 729=8 A 
From the circuit shown, current through 10 Ω  resistor becomes, 4(10+2+4)×8=2 A 

Potential available for capacitor is = potential drop across 10 Ω
   Potential available for capacitor is: 10×2=20 V
   Charge on capacitor Q=10 μF20 V=200 μC
