The arc is subtending an angle of 90 degrees with the centre. Hence, it forms a quarter semicircle.
 
So, the charge density of the arc is begin mathsize 14px style straight rho equals fraction numerator straight q over denominator arc space length end fraction equals fraction numerator straight q over denominator begin display style πR over 2 end style end fraction equals fraction numerator 2 straight q over denominator πR end fraction end style
Now, dipole moment is given as a product of charge and distance between the two charges.
 
Hence, if we consider a length element dx of the arc, then we have
