Solution
Here three charges $${q_1} = + 2nC$$, $${q_2} = - 2nC$$ and $${q_0} = 1\mu C$$ are at $$\left( {0,2} \right)$$, $$\left( {0, - 2} \right)$$ and $$\left( {2,0} \right)$$ respectively. The charges are at vertices of a right angle triangle, and charge $${q_0}$$ is at the right angle vertex.
Now force between $${q_1}$$ and $${q_0}$$which is repulsive in nature is given by
$$F = \dfrac{{9 \times {{10}^9} \times 2 \times {{10}^{ - 9}} \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{{{{\left( {2\sqrt 2 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}} \right)}^2}}}$$
$$F = \dfrac{{18 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}}}{8}$$
$$F = 2.25 \times {10^{ - 2}}{\rm{N}}$$
Similarly force between $${q_2}$$ and $${q_0}$$ is also same but attractive in nature and perpendicular to the direction of first force.
Resultant force
$${F_R} = \sqrt {{{2.25}^2} + {{2.25}^2}} \times {10^{ - 2}}$$
$${F_R} = 3.18 \times {10^{ - 2}}\;{\rm{N}}$$
$${F_R} = 0.0318\;{\rm{N}}$$ in downward vertical direction i.e. negative $$j$$ direction.
Thus $$F = - 0.0318\;j\;{\rm{N}}$$
