Solution

The correct option is A KQa2(2q+Q2)
Charges are placed in this manner :
Charge at C experiences force due to charge at A,B and C.
Let AB=a.
Force as per Columbus law,
F1=F2=KQaa2 and, F3=kQ2(a22)=ka22a2
F1k F2 added up along F3 vectonially .
F=F2=2KQaa2 (due to F1 and F2)
So, net force at c :-
Fnet=F3+F=2kQaa2+kQ22a2=kQa2(2a+Q2)
