Two identical conducting spheres carrying different charges attract each other with a force $F$ when placed in air medium at a distance $'d'$ apart. The spheres are brought into contact and then taken to their original positions. Now the two spheres repel each other with a force whose magnitude is equal to that of the the initial attractive force. The ratio between initial charges on the spheres is

  • A

    $ - \left( {3 + \sqrt 8 } \right)$ only

  • B

    $ - 3 + \sqrt 8 $

  • C

    $ - \left( {3 + \sqrt 8 \,} \right)$ or $\left( { - 3 + \sqrt 8 } \right)$

  • D

    $+\sqrt 3$
