In the arrangement shown in figure, the two point charges are in equilibrium. The infinite wire is fixed in the horizontal plane, and the two point charges are placed one above and the other below the wire.

Considering the gravitational effect of the earth, the nature of q1 and q2 can be

a
q1→ positive, q2→ positive
b
q1→ positive, q2→ negative
c
q1→ negative, q2→ negative
d
q1→ negative, q2→ positive

detailed solution

Correct option is B
