Detailed Solution

A equipotential surface will be formed when potential due to dipole + potential due to electric field =0 

Let the position of point be given by a

Potential due to dipole is given by k P.aa3

Potential due to the electric field is given by -E.a

k Pacosθa3+-Eacosθ=0

kPa2=Eaa3=kPEa=kPE1/3

x2+y2+z2=kPE1/3x2+y2+z2=kPE2/3
