From figure  dl=Rdθ
Charge on  F = 14πε0.Qq(x2+d24)
Electric field at center due to dl is dE = k.λRdθR2.
We need to consider only the component  dE cos θ, as the component dE cos θ will cancel out because of the field at C

due to the symmetrical element dl’ Total field at centre                              
= 20π/2dE   cos  θ2kλR0π/2dE   cos  θ=2kλR=q2ε0R2
