Q.

Three point charges q1,q2  and q3  are taken such that when q1 and q2 are placed close together to form a single point charge, the force on q3  at distance L from this combination is a repulsion of 2 unit in magnitude. When q2  and q3  are so combined the force on q1 at distance L is an attractive force of magnitude 4 unit. Also q3 and q1 when combined exert an attractive force on q2  of magnitude 18 unit at same distance L. The algebraic ratio of charges q1q2 , and q3  is
