Five charges `q_1, q_2, q_3,q_4` and `q_5` are fixed at their positions as shown in Fig. S is a Gaussian surface. The Gauss's law is given by`int E.dS = q/epsilon `

Which of the following statements is correct?

A

(a) E on the LHS of the above equation will have a contribution `q_1, q_5` and `q_3` while q on the RHS will have a contribution from `q_2` and `q_4` only.

B

(b) E on the LHS of the above equation will have a contribution from all charges while q on the RHS will have a contribution from `q_2` and `q_4` only.

C

(c) E on the LHS of the above equations will have a contribution from all charges while q on the RHS will have a contribution from `q_1, q_3 and q_5` only.

D

(d) Both E on the LHS and q on the RHS will have contributions from `q_2` and `q_4` only.
