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