A parallel plate capacitor of area $A$, plate separation $d$ and capacitance $C$ is filled with three different dielectric materials having dielectric constants ${k_1},{k_2}$ and ${k_3}$ as shown. If a single dielectric material is to be used to have the same capacitance $C$ in this capacitor, then its dielectric constant $k$ is given by
