Question
### Problem Statement

A dielectric capacitor is filled with two materials having dielectric constants \( \kappa_1 = 4.2 \) and \( \kappa_2 = 6.0 \) as shown in the diagram. The capacitor has an area of 30 cm x 50 cm, and the separation between the plates is 4.00 cm. Find the total capacitance.

### Explanation of the Diagram

- The diagram shows a parallel plate capacitor divided into two sections, each filled with different dielectric materials.
- The left section is labeled with \( \kappa_1 \) and occupies \( \frac{3A}{4} \) of the area.
- The right section is labeled with \( \kappa_2 \) and occupies \( \frac{A}{4} \) of the area.
- The full separation distance between the plates is labeled as \( d \).

### Choices

a. 123 pF  
b. 98 pF  
c. 50 pF  
d. 154 pF
