Let the new charge be placed at distance R from q
 
 
as shown below
 
<-----------r---------------------------->
q-------------------p-------------------4q
<------R---------->
 
 
f o r c e space o n space p space d u e space t o space q space equals F subscript q minus p end subscript space equals space 8.99 space x 109 space x fraction numerator q space x space p over denominator R squared end fraction
f o r c e space o n space p space d u e space t o space 4 q space equals space F subscript 4 subscript q minus p end subscript space equals space space 8.99 space x 109 space x fraction numerator 4 q space x space p over denominator left parenthesis r minus R to the power of right parenthesis 2 end exponent end fraction

F o r space e q u i l i b i r i u m

F subscript q minus p end subscript space space equals space F subscript 4 subscript q minus p end subscript space
space 8.99 space x 109 space x fraction numerator q space x space p over denominator r squared end fraction equals 8.99 space x 109 space x fraction numerator 4 q space x space p over denominator left parenthesis R minus r to the power of right parenthesis 2 end exponent end fraction

R equals r over 3
