A single phase induction motor draws $$12MW$$ power at $$0.6$$ lagging power. A capacitor is connected in parallel to the motor to improve the power factor of the combination of motor and capacitor to $$0.8$$ lagging. Assuming that the real and reactive power drawn by the motor remains same as before, the reactive power delivered by the capacitor in MVAR is _______ .
