Six charges, three positive and three negative of equal magnitude are to be placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon such that the electric field at $O$ is double the electric field when only one positive charge of same magnitude is placed at $R$. Which of the following arrangements of charges is possible for $P,\,Q,\,R,\,S,\,T,\,$ and $U$ respectively
