A parallel plate capacitor is filled with $3$ dielectric materials of same thickness, as shown in the sketch. The dielectric constants are such that $k_3 > k_2 > k_1$. Let the magnitudes of the electric field in and potential drops across each dielectric be $E_3$, $E_2$,$ E_1$, $\Delta V_3$, $\Delta V_2$ and $\Delta V_1$, respectively. Which one of the following statement is true ?

Consider the arrangement shown in figure. The total energy stored is $U_1$ when key is closed. Now the key $K$ is made off (opened) and two dielectric slabs of relative permittivity ${ \in _r}$ are introduced between the plates of the two capacitors. The slab tightly fit in between the plates. The total energy stored is now $U_2$. Then the ratio of $U_1/U_2$ is
