The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by \(d\). Two slabs of different dielectric constant \(K_1\) and \(K_2\) with thickness \(\frac{3}{8}d\) and \(\frac{d}{2}\), respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If \(K_1 = 1.25\,K_2\), the value of \(K_1\) is :
1. 2.66
2. 2.33
3. 1.60
4. 1.33
