Two identical capacitors, have the same capacitance C. One of them is charged to potential V₁ and the other to V₂. The negative ends of the capacitors are connected together. When the positive ends are also connected, the decrease in energy of the combined system is

A capacitor of capacity C₁ is charged upto V volt and then connected to an uncharged capacitor of capacity C₂. Then final potential difference across each will be
