Solution

The correct option is C 14π02qL(115)

Let VA= potential at A due to all charges
VMA= potential at A due to charge at M
VNA= potential at A due to charge at N
VOA= potential at A due to charge at O
VPA= potential at A due to charge at P
Distance between N and A = Distance between O and A = (2L)2+L2=L5
VA=VMA+VPA+VNA+VOA
VA=kqL+kqLkqL5kqL5VA=14πε02qL(115)
