You have used incorrect formula for voltage across capacitor.

You need to write the voltage across capacitor in terms of charge and capacitance.
 
I think that's right for (a). Much better than before. :approve:

For (b) you don't actually need the answer to (a). You might be able to say it off back of head. :oldwink:

After which calculation of (a) is a bit simpler.

Here Matrices and determiants is how you can make pages like yours look better.
