A parallel plate capacitor having a separation between the plates d, plate area A and material with dielectric constant K has capacitance C0 . Now one-third of the material is replaced by another material with dielectric constant 2K, so that effectively there are two capacitors one with area \frac{1}{3}  A, dielectric constant 2K and another with area \frac{2}{3}  A and dielectric constant K. If the  capacitance of this new capacitor is C then \frac{C}{C_{0}}  is :

C_{0}=\frac{k \in_{0} A}{d}

and 

C=\frac{k \in_{0} 2}{3 d}+\frac{2 k \in_{0} A}{3 d}=\frac{4}{3} \frac{k \in_{0} A}{d}

So 

\frac{C}{C_{0}}=\frac{\frac{4}{3} \frac{k \in_{0} A}{d}}{\frac{k \epsilon_{0} A}{d}}=\frac{4}{3}
