Explanation / Answer

3 and 4 are in series so

C34 = 4 x 4 / (4 + 4 ) = 16/8 = 2 uF

C34 is in parallel with 2

C2-34 = 2 + 4 = 6 uF

c2-34 and 1 and 5are in series so,

1/Ceq = 1/8.6 + 1/8.6 + 1/6 => Ceq = 2.51 uF

A)Hence, Ceq = 2.51 uF

same charge flows through the capacitors in series,

Q = CV => 2.51 x 10^-6 x 200 = 5.02 x 10^-4 C

charge through, C1is same as Q

B)Q1 = 5.02 x 10^-4 C

C)V1 = Q1/C1 = 5.02 x 10^-4/8.6 x 10^-6 = 58.37

Hence, V1 = 58.37 Volts
