a

Potential at P=0, if potential at infinity is G2(m1a1+m2a2)

b

Modulus of potential at  P=G2(m1a1+m2a2) if potential at infinity is zero.

c

m1m2=a1a2

Considering a small element dm1  in m1,

dE1=Gdm1r12

Since  sin θ  components of dE from radially opposite elements cancel out, only cos θ components add up. 

Total field E is E1=dE1=Gdm1r12cosθdθ

But cosθ=32 and  E1=Gm1r1232

(wherer1=a12+(3a1)2=2a1)

=Gm14a1232

For P to have zero field

Gm138a12=Gm238a22m1m2=a12a22

Potential at P :VP=(Gm1r1+Gm2r2)

=(Gm12a1+Gm22a2)=G2(m1a1+m2a2)

PE is maximum at infinity, hence (c) is wrong.
