As per the question the charge of one coulomb is at 0 cm of the metre stick.the second charge of 4 coulomb is situated at at 100 cm of metre stick.
hence the separation distance between them is 100 cm.
now as per the question a proton is set up between them in such a way that the net force on it is zero
let the charge of proton is q coulomb let the proton is situated at distance of x cm from the charge 1 coulomb.hence it is situated at a distance of 100-x cm from the charge 4 coulomb.
the force exerted by 1 coulomb on proton is-
the force exerted by 4 coulomb on proton is-
as the net force is zero,hence-
cm [ans]
