Concentric metallic hollow spheres of radii $R$ and $4 R$ hold charges $Q _{1}$ and $Q _{2}$ respectively. Given that surface charge densities of the concentric spheres are equal, the potential difference $V ( R )- V (4 R )$ is

A charge $+q$ is fixed at each of the points $x = x_0,\,x = 3x_0,\,x = 5x_0$, .... upto $\infty $ on $X-$  axis and charge $-q$ is fixed on each of the points $x = 2x_0,\,x = 4x_0,\,x = 6x_0$, .... upto $\infty $ . Here $x_0$ is a positive constant. Take the potential at a point due to a charge $Q$ at a distance $r$ from it to be $\frac{Q}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}r}}$. Then the potential at the origin due to above system of charges will be
