Assertion: When a battery remains connected,the electric potential energy increases if a dielectric material is inserted between the plates of a capacitor.
Reason: When a battery remains connected,the charge on the plates of the capacitor remains the same.

Four identical plates $1, 2, 3$ and $4$ are placed parallel to each other at equal distances as shown in the figure. Plates $1$ and $4$ are joined together and the space between $2$ and $3$ is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $k = 2$. The capacitance of the system between $1$ and $3$ and between $2$ and $4$ are $C_1$ and $C_2$ respectively. The ratio $\frac{C_1}{C_2}$ is
