Concept Used: Electric field basic concept

Detailed Solution:

The line of force is going into q₂ from q₁,

Because q₁ is the positive charge and q₂ is the negative charge.

As the number of lines of force are greater near q₁,

q₁ is greater than q₂

Hence, the correct option will be $q_{1} = 4 μ C, q_{2} = - 1 .0 μ C$
