\mathrm{C_{1}= \frac{\in _{0}A}{5b}}
\mathrm{C_{2}= \frac{\in _{0}A}{3b}}
\mathrm{C_{3}= \frac{\in _{0}A}{b}}

\mathrm{C_{1},C_{2} \, \&\, C_{3}}  are in parallel

\mathrm{\because\; C_{eq}= C_{1}+C_{2} + C_{3}}
              \mathrm{= \frac{\in _{0}A}{5b}+ \frac{\in _{0}A}{3b}+ \frac{\in _{0}A}{b}}
               \mathrm{= \frac{23}{15} \frac{\in _{0}A}{b}} 

The answer is 23
