The electric field produced by thin charged sheet is given by  σ2ε0

Question Image

σ = surface charge density]
 An external electric field is also present so we will use principal of superposition to find net electric field.
From the figure, it is clear that the plate is placed in an external electric field. Let the electric field due to plate is E and E0 be the external electric field.
E0+E=12  V/m   …(i)
E0E=8  V/m   …(ii)
Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get E = 2 V/m
Now, electric field due to plate  =σ20=2   then σ=40 n = 4
