You appear to have calculated the charge on the 3.00-µF capacitor in terms of the charges you calculated in earlier parts of the problem, but
since at least one of those earlier values was incorrect, the charge you calculated for the 3.00-µF capacitor is also incorrect. µC

capacitor C
You appear to have calculated the charge on capacitor C from the charge on the 3.00-µF capacitor, but because your answer for the 3.00-µF
capacitor was incorrect, your answer for the charge on capacitor C is also incorrect. µC
