Could i please get the workings out and answers to the questions and their parts in the imaged attached?

I would like this to see if I have done it correctly and where I went wrong :)

Thank you

Question 1:
A 4µF capacitor is connected in parallel with a 6µF capacitor. This arrangement is then connected in
series with a 10 µF capacitor. A supply p.d. of 250v is connected across the circuit. Find:
(a) the equivalent capacitance of the circuit,
(b) the voltage across the 10 µF capacitor,
(c) the charge on each capacitor.
Question 2:
For the series-parallel network shown in the following figure, find:
(a) the supply current,
(b) the current flowing through each resistor,
(c) the potential difference across each resistor,
(d) the total power dissipated in the circuit,
(e) the cost of energy if the circuit is connected for 80 hours. Assume electrical energy costs 14p per
unit.
