### Problem Statement

In the figure, a 27 V battery is connected across capacitors of capacitances \( C_1 = C_6 = 4.5 \, \mu\text{F} \) and \( C_3 = C_5 = 2.5C_2 = 2.5C_4 = 6.0 \, \mu\text{F} \). 

**Questions:**
1. What is the equivalent capacitance \( C_{\text{eq}} \) of the capacitors?
2. What is the charge stored by \( C_{\text{eq}} \)?
3. What are:
   - (c) \( V_1 \) (Potential Difference across Capacitor 1)
   - (d) \( q_1 \) (Charge on Capacitor 1)
   - (e) \( V_2 \) (Potential Difference across Capacitor 2)
   - (f) \( q_2 \) (Charge on Capacitor 2)
   - (g) \( V_3 \) (Potential Difference across Capacitor 3)
   - (h) \( q_3 \) (Charge on Capacitor 3)

### Diagram Description

The diagram displays a complex circuit consisting of capacitors arranged in a specific configuration with a voltage source (27 V battery). The arrangement is as follows:

- \( C_4 \) and \( C_5 \) are connected in series.
- \( C_3 \) is connected in parallel with this series combination.
- \( C_2 \) is in series with this parallel combination.
- \( C_1 \) and \( C_6 \) are connected in parallel to the above arrangement.

### Detailed Solution

#### (a) Equivalent Capacitance \( C_{\text{eq}} \):

1. **Calculate series combinations:**

   - Series of \( C_4 \) and \( C_5 \):
     \[
     \frac{1}{C_{45}} = \frac{1}{C_4} + \frac{1}{C_5}
     = \frac{1}{6.0 \, \mu\text{F}} + \frac{1}{6.0 \, \mu\text{F}}
     = \frac{2}{6.0 \, \mu\text{F}} = \frac{1}{
