\mathrm{U=\frac{1}{2}(kC_{\circ })V^{2}}

\mathrm{\frac{U^{\prime}}{U}=\frac{k^{\prime}}{k}=\frac{15}{10}=1.5}

\mathrm{\frac{\Delta U}{U} \times 100=\frac{U^{\prime}-U}{U} \times 100}

                       \mathrm{=(1.5-1)\times 100}

                        \mathrm{=50\%}

Hence, correct answer is Option (1).
