Detailed Solution

Distance AC is given by, AC = 5 m

Potential at due to charge q at A is given by

V=kqAC=9×109×1×1065=1.8×103=1.8kV

Potential at B is given by

VB=VBdue to q+VBinduced 

VBi= Potential at B due to induced charge 

Thus 1.8×103=kqAB+VBi=2.25×103+VBi

VBi=0.45kV

So (1) and (3) are correct.
