Expert Solution
Introduction:

We are given 2 charges. We are given their values. We are also given their positions along x axis. We are given a 3rd arbitrary charge between them. We have to find position where net force on this 3rd charge is zero. We equate the forces on this 3rd charge due to 2 charges and hence find the position.
