Solution

The correct options are
C Q=2σπr20
D r0=λπσ

Electric field at a distance r from a point charge Q is given by
E=kQr2
E1=kQr20


Electric field at a distance r from an infinitely long wire of linear chage density λ is given by
E=λ2πϵ0r
E2=λ2πϵ0r0


Electric field at a distance r from an infinite plane of surface chage density σ is given by
E=σ2ϵ0
E3=σ2ϵ0

Given E1=E2=E3
E1=E3kQr20=σ2ϵ0
Q=r2ok×σ2ϵ0
Q=r2o×4πϵ0×σ2ϵ0 (k=14πϵ0)
Q=2πσr20 (c)

Also, E2=E3λ2πϵ0r0=σ2ϵ0
r0=λπσ (d)
