A charge +q is fixed at each of the pointx=x0,x=3x0,x=5x0  to on the X -axis and a charge -q is fixed at each of the points of the points x=2x0,x=4x0,x=6x0. to , Here x0 is a positive constant. Take the electric potential at a point due to a charge Q at a distance r from it to be 14πε0Qr. Then, the potential at the origin due to the above system of the charges is -
