If a large conducting plate is given a charge +Q, it is distributed equally on both surfaces. Charge density σ=Q2A. So the electric field at both points A and B due to the plate X is
Question Image

EA=EB=σ0=Q2A0

If another uncharged plate is placed in front of charged sheet an equal and opposite charge  Q2  is induced on inner surface and  +Q2 on outer surface. So  
EC=Q2A0i.e
EA=EB=EC=Q2A0
The directions of EA,EB,EC are shown in the figure.

Option (A) is correct.
Option (B) is wrong.
Option (C) is correct.
Option (D) is correct.
