Detailed Solution

Consider the situation shown in the diagram.

 

Let charges on sphere A and B  are q1 and q2, respectively. 
Force between the charges placed in air by Coulomb's law
(spheres can be assumed as poInt charges placed at their centres)

FAB=k1q1q2d2       …(i)

where,    k1=14πε0

When the spheres are immersed in a liquid, force between

the charges is  F'AB =q1q24πεrd2=q1q24πε0K×1d2

=14πε0×2×9192d2=k12×9192d2             …(ii)

where, K is dielectric constant of the liquid = 2

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get  FABFAB'=k1k1/2=2

According to question,  FAB=F

  FF'AB =2F'AB =F2
