Detailed Solution

E is a vector quantity;  V is a scalar quantity. 

On the line joining the charges , there must be a point ( not between the charges ) where electric field is zero .

Suppose +Q1 is at the origin and -Q2 is at point (d,0).If the potential at point P(x,y) is zero , then 

 kQ1x2+y2-kQ2(d-x)2+y2=0.

All points on the curve given by the above equation must be at zero potential .
