An arrangement consisting of two concentric spherical shells A and B has a capacitance \(C_0\) between them. If the upper 'hemispherical' space between them is filled by a dielectric of relative permittivity \(K_1\) and the lower by one of relative permittivity \(K_2,\) the new capacitance will be:
             
1. \(\left(K_{1}+K_{2}\right) C_{0}\) 2. \( \dfrac{K_{1}+K_{2}}{2} C_{0}\)
3. \(\dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{K_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{K_{2}}\right) C_{0}\) 4. \( \dfrac{2 K_{1} K_{2}}{K_{1}+K_{2}} C_{0}\)
