Explanation / Answer

here,

C = 120 nF

as we have 5 identical capacitor

A)

for maximum capacitance , they are placed in parallel

the maximum capacitance , Ceq = 5 * C

Ceq = 5 * 120 nF = 600 nF

B)

for minimum capacitance , they are placed in series

the minimum capacitance , Ceq = C/5

Ceq = 120 /5 nF = 24 nF
