Explanation / Answer

let

q1 = +5 micro C

q2 = -8 micro C

q3 = +4 micro C


Potential at mid point due the other two charges, V = k*q1/d1 + k*q2/d2

= 9*10^9*5*10^-6/0.02 - 9*10^9*8*10^-6/0.04

= 4.5*10^5 volts

potential at inifite point = 0

so, workdone in bringing the third charge, W = q3*delta_V

= +4*10^-6*4.5*10^5

= 1.8 J <<<<<<<-------Answer
