The correct answer is option 1) i.e. 

CONCEPT:

  • Gauss's Law for electric field: It states that the total electric flux emerging out of a closed surface is directly proportional to the charge enclosed by this closed surface.

It is expressed as:

Where ϕ is the electric flux, Q is the charge enclosed in the closed surface and ϵ0 is the electric constant.

EXPLANATION:

  • According to Gauss law, the flux depends on the total charge enclosed by the surface.

Here, the total charge (Q) = 2q + 3q = 5q

Therefore, electric flux
