Capacitor and its Capacitance

You have a parallel plate capacitor, a spherical capacitor and a cylindrical capacitor. Each capacitor is charged and then removed from the same battery. Consider the following situations : I:· Separation between the plates of parallel plate capacitor is reduced II: Radius of the outer spherical shell of the spherical capacitor is increased Ill: Radius of the outer cylinder of cylindrical capacitor is increased. Which of the following is correct?

Assertion: Increasing the charge on the plates of a capacitor means increasing the capacitance. Resion : Capacitance is directly proportinal to charge.
