Two electric dipoles of moment $P$ and $8P$ are placed in opposite directions on a line at a distance of $24 \text{ cm}$. The electric field will be zero at a point between the dipoles whose distance from the dipole of moment $P$ is $x_1$. When $8P$ is replaced by $27P$ keeping all other quantities the same, the distance $x_1$ becomes $x_2$. The difference $|x_2 - x_1|$ is (All distances are measured from the centers of the dipoles.)
