Three capacitors of capacitances 2 muF, ...

Three capacitors of capacitances `2 muF`, `3mu F` and `6muF` are connected in series with a 12 V battery. All the connecting wire are disconnected, the three positive plates are connected together and the three negative plates are connected together. Find the charges on the three capacitors after the reconnection.
