Two capacitors of $100 \mu F$ and $50 \mu F$ are connected in parallel. If the potential difference across $100 \mu F$ is $20 \text{ V}$ and across $50 \mu F$ is $40 \text{ V}$,then the common potential of the parallel combination will be (assuming same polarities of the capacitors are connected together).

  • A
    $20 \text{ V}$
  • B
    $60 \text{ V}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{80} \text{ V}$
  • D
    $\frac{80}{3} \text{ V}$
