Prove that, if an insulated, uncharged conductor is placed near a charged conductor and no other conductors are present, the uncharged body must be intermediate in potential between that of the charged body and that of infinity.

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
