Two condensers of capacities $2C$ and $C$ are joined in parallel and charged up to potential $V$. The battery is then disconnected and the condenser of capacity $C$ is filled completely with a medium of dielectric constant $K$. The potential difference across the capacitors in the second case is

  • A
    $\frac{3V}{(K + 2)}$
  • B
    $\frac{V}{(K + 2)}$
  • C
    $\frac{5V}{(K + 2)}$
  • D
    $\frac{2V}{(K + 2)}$
