Two point charges $+q_{1}$ and $+q_{2}$ are placed a finite distance '$d$' apart. It is desired to put a third charge $q_{3}$ in between these two charges so that $q_{3}$ is in equilibrium. This is

  • A
    possible only if $q_{3}$ is negative.
  • B
    possible only if $q_{3}$ is positive.
  • C
    possible irrespective of the sign of $q_{3}$.
  • D
    not possible at all.
