As drawn, the problem does not make sense. You would not connect a battery directly to a capacitor. The transient current would only be limited by the ESR of the cap.

Can you scan the actual question for us?

The original diagram is drawn in pencil. The scanned copy is not so clear (poor scanner). However, i rechecked the diagram and that's how it is. I also find connecting the capacitor directly to the battery senseless too.

Thank you for your reply.
