As we learnt in 

LC Circuit voltage -

V_{L}=\: {I}\! X_{L}

V_{C}={I}\! X_{C}

- wherein

Let Q denote maximum charge on capacitor. Let q denote charge when energy is equally shared

\therefore \; \; \frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{1}{2}\frac{Q^{2}}{C} \right )=\frac{1}{2}\frac{q^{2}}{C}\Rightarrow Q^{2}=2q^{2}

\therefore \; \; q=Q/\sqrt{2}


 


Option 1)

Q/2\; \;

This option is incorrect

Option 2)

\; \; Q/\sqrt{3}\; \;

This option is incorrect

Option 3)

\; Q/\sqrt{2}\;

This option is correct

Option 4)

\; \; \; Q

This option is incorrect
