A parallel plate air capacitor has a capacitance $C$. When it is half filled as shown in figure with a dielectric constant $K = 5$, the percentage increase in the capacitance is ________.

Identify the correct statements :
A. Effective capacitance of a series combination of capacitors is always smaller than the smallest capacitance of the capacitor in the combination.
B. When a dielectric medium is placed between the charged plates of a capacitor, displacement of charges cannot occur due to insulation property of dielectric.
C. Increasing of area of capacitor plate or decreasing of thickness of dielectric is an alternate method to increase the capacitance.
D. For a point charge, concentric spherical shells centered at the location of the charge are equipotential surfaces.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Three parallel plate capacitors each with area $A$ and separation $d$ are filled with two dielectric ( $k_1$ and $k_2$ ) in the following fashion. Which of the following is true?
$$ \left(k_1>k_2\right) $$

A parallel plate capacitor with plate separation 5 mm is charged by a battery. On introducing a mica sheet of 2 mm and maintaining the connections of the plates with the terminals of the battery, it is found that it draws $25 \%$ more charge from the battery. The dielectric constant of mica is $\_\_\_\_$
