Explanation / Answer

whatever might be the sign of the fourth charge ie whetherpositive or negative inside the triangle it is not possible to havea location where there is no net force. because the resultant of the two charges will be direction inwhich the third charge is attracting the fourth charge.so netelectric force is not equal to zero within this triangle. this is possible out side the triangle.
