ok so this is how i did it.
when capac. are connected to battery, current will flow until volatge at all points is 3V. so voltage across 2 parallel capacitors has to be 3V.
now, V=Q/C, since they are in parallel, it will be, 3=Q/2C, so Q=6C

now, connect them in series.
V=Q/C = Q/C/2 = 2(Q/C)=2(6C/C) = 12

@madhumitha supossedly i m not tlking but just posting a reply!

when connected in series it will be a equivalent capacitor with charge 3C and equivalent capacitor of C/2
therefore V=6V[1]

u made a blunder in ur solution
