If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

(C) The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by $C = \frac{K \epsilon_0 A}{d}$,where $K$ is the dielectric constant,$A$ is the area,and $d$ is the distance between the plates.Given that the new distance $d' = \frac{d}{2}$ and the new dielectric constant $K' = 3K$.The new capacitance $C'$ becomes $C' = \frac{(3K) \epsilon_0 A}{(d/2)} = 6 \left( \frac{K \epsilon_0 A}{d} \right) = 6C$.Thus,the Assertion is correct.The capacity of a capacitor depends on the dielectric constant $(K)$ of the material placed between the plates. Therefore,the Reason is incorrect.

In a parallel plate capacitor setup,the plate area of the capacitor is $2 \, m^{2}$ and the plates are separated by $1 \, m$. If the space between the plates is filled with a dielectric material of thickness $0.5 \, m$ and area $2 \, m^{2}$ (see figure),the capacitance of the setup will be $......... \, \varepsilon_{0}$. (Dielectric constant of the material $= 3.2$) (Round off to the nearest integer).

$A$ parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a capacitance of $9 \ pF$. The separation between its plates is $d$. The space between the plates is now filled with two dielectrics. One of the dielectrics has a dielectric constant $k_1 = 3$ and thickness $d/3$,while the other one has a dielectric constant $k_2 = 6$ and thickness $2d/3$. The capacitance of the capacitor is now . . . . . . $pF$.
