Three charge $q$, $Q$ and $4q$ are placed in a straight line of length $l$ at points distant $0,\,\frac {l}{2}$ and $l$ respectively from one end. In order to make the net froce on $q$ zero, the charge $Q$ must be equal to

  • A

    $-\,q$

  • B

    $-\,2q$

  • C

    $\frac {-\,q}{2}$

  • D

    $q$
