what is the final voltage across capcitors?? I got 1.5v in simulation but dont know how?? And final voltage should be zero right? Since it is source free RC circuit edabo.JPG

The result is incorrect. You should try with conservation of charge.

And final voltage should be zero right?

Unlikely.

Which cap do you mean ?

The secret of the circuit is that both capacitors have the same final voltage. I guess, you'll see why.
 

It is 1.66 v .. i think the charges flow from c1 to c5 till both have same voltage.. and both acts as voltage sources of 1.66 v and it remains constant. so no current flow through the resistor.Tell me is it right? I have attached the simulation result eda2.JPG
 

Of course the simulation isn't wrong. But you find the result by mental arithmetic as well.
