\\ \text{Voltage across}\ C_{1}= V_{1}=\frac{q}{C_{1}}=\frac{\left(750 \times 10^{-6}\right)}{15 \times 10^{-6}}=50 \mathrm{V} \\ \text{Applied voltage,}\ V=V_{1}+V_{2}=50+20=70 \mathrm{V} \\ \text{Charge on}\ C_{3}=C_{3} V_{2}=\left(8 \times 10^{-6}\right) 20 =160 \times 10^{-6}=160 \mu \mathrm{C} \\ \therefore \ Charge \ on \ C_{2}=750-160=590 \mu \mathrm{C}

So option 2 is correct.
