Effective capacitance of parallel combination of two capacitors $\mathrm{C}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{C}_{2}$ is $10\; \mu \mathrm{F}$. When these capacitors are individually connected to a voltage source of $1\; \mathrm{V},$ the energy stored in the capacitor $\mathrm{C}_{2}$ is $4$ times that of $\mathrm{C}_{1}$. If these capacitors are connected in series, their effective capacitance will be
