T= rc
= (4.7 +2.2) *10 ^3 ohms * (10* 10^-6 Farad)
= 69 mill sec

But the time required for capacitor to fully charge is 5T.

So 5*69 milli sec= 345 mSec.

Why time required for capacitor to full charge is 5T?

Capacitor is fully charged when 5 times constant occurs.

So 5T is taken.

Can you please elaborate how 5T is taken?

If the switch was in position 1 then it should be in position 2 during discharging.
