As we learnt in 

Series Grouping -

\frac{1}{C_{eq}}=\frac{1}{C_{1}}+\frac{1}{C_{2}}+\cdots

- wherein

 

 \frac{1}{C_{equation}}= \frac{1}{8}+ \frac{1}{8}+ \frac{1}{8}+ \frac{1}{8}

\frac{1}{C_{equation}}= \frac{4}{8}= \frac{1}{2}\; \; \! C_{equation}= 2\mu f

\therefore Total\ number\ of\ capacitance = 8\times 4= 32
