What is the magnitude of a point charge which produces an electric field of $2\, N/coulomb$ at a distance of $60\, cm$ $(1/4\pi {\varepsilon _0} = 9 \times {10^9}\,N - {m^2}/{C^2})$

Charges $Q _{1}$ and $Q _{2}$ arc at points $A$ and $B$ of a right angle triangle $OAB$ (see figure). The resultant electric field at point $O$ is perpendicular to the hypotenuse, then $Q _{1} / Q _{2}$ is proportional to

An infinite number of electric charges each equal to $5\, nC$ (magnitude) are placed along $X$-axis at $x = 1$ $cm$, $x = 2$ $cm$ , $x = 4$ $cm$ $x = 8$ $cm$ ………. and so on. In the setup if the consecutive charges have opposite sign, then the electric field in Newton/Coulomb at $x = 0$ is $\left( {\frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}} = 9 \times {{10}^9}\,N - {m^2}/{c^2}} \right)$
