Assuming potential x and y at the top junctions A and B respectively and zero potential at lower junctions.
At the junction A applying KCL,
i1 + i2 + i3 = 0
$${{x - 72} \over 6} + {x \over 4} + {{x - y} \over 2} = 0$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${{2x - 144 + 6x - 6y + 3x} \over {12}} = 0$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ 11x - 6y = 144 ......(1)
At the junction B applying KCL,
i4 + i5 = 0
$${{y - x} \over 2} + {y \over {10}} = 0$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${{5y - 5x + y} \over {10}}$$ = 0
$$ \Rightarrow $$ 6y = 5x ......(2)
Solving (1) and (2)
11x - 5x = 144
$$ \Rightarrow $$ x = 24 V
$$ \therefore $$ y = 20 V
The charge on the capacitor, q = CV
$$ \Rightarrow $$ q = 10$$\mu $$F × 20 = 200 $$\mu $$C
