The variation of electric field between two charge `q_1` and `q_2` along the line joining the charges is plotted against distance from `q_1` (taking rightward direction of electric field as positive) as shown in the figure. Then the correct statement is

Options

A. `q_1` and `q_2` are positive and abs`(q_1)gt abs(q_2)`
B. `q_1` and `q_2 `are positive and` abs(q_1) lt abs(q_2) `
C. `q_1` is positive and `q_2` is negative `abs(q_1) lt abs(q_2)`
D. `q_1` is negative and `q_2` is positive `abs(q_1) gt abs(q_2)`

Answer

B
