Expert Solution
Step 1

Given, 

The negative charge alone creates electric field of 30 N/C at point P.

The positive charge has 4x charge as the negative particle.

Distance from P to positive charge is 3x as the distance from P to negative charge. 

The direction of electric field due to positive charge is away from it and direction of electric field due to negative charge is towards it.
