1. Interpret the circuit as an RC charging setup

   Since the question asks when the voltage across the capacitors becomes $4\text{ V}$ after connecting a $10\text{ V}$ battery at $t=0$, we use the standard charging relation for the equivalent capacitor in the given resistor-capacitor network:

   $V_C(t)=V\left(1-e^{-t/RC}\right)$

   where:

   • $V=10\text{ V}$ is the battery voltage,
   • $R$ is the equivalent resistance seen by the capacitor combination,
   • $C$ is the equivalent capacitance.

2. Set the capacitor voltage equal to $4\text{ V}$

   $4 = 10\left(1-e^{-t/RC}\right)$

   Divide by $10$:

   $0.4 = 1-e^{-t/RC}$

   Hence,

   $e^{-t/RC}=0.6=\frac{3}{5}$

3. Take natural logarithm

   $-\frac{t}{RC}=\ln\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)$

   $\frac{t}{RC}=\ln\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)=\ln 5-\ln 3$

   Using the given values:

   $\ln 5 = 1.6, \qquad \ln 3 = 1.1$

   So,

   $\frac{t}{RC}=1.6-1.1=0.5$

   Therefore,

   $t=0.5\,RC$

4. Use the circuit's equivalent time constant

   From the given circuit, the equivalent time constant is:

   $RC = 4\text{ s}$

   Therefore,

   $t=0.5\times 4 = 2\text{ s}$

5. Final answer

   $\boxed{2}$
