1\muf and 5\muf are parallel; Ceff = 1 + 5 = 6\muf 6\muf, 4\muf and 4\muf are in series. total capacitance of the circuit in series( \(\frac{1}{C_T}\)) = \(\frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2} + \frac{1}{C_3}\) = \(\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6}\) = \(\frac{ 6 + 6 + 4}{ 24}\) = \(\frac{ 16}{ 24}\) \(\frac{1}{C_T}\) = \(\frac{ 16}{ 24}\) \(C_T\) = \(\frac{24}{ 16}\) = 1.5\muf.
