Three charges \(\mathrm{Q},+\mathrm{q}\) and \(+\mathrm{q}\) are placed at the vertices of a right angled isoscels triangle as shown in the figure. If the net electrostatic potential energy of the system is zero, the value of \(Q\) is

  1. A \(\begin{aligned} & \frac{-2 q}{2+\sqrt{2}} \end{aligned}\)
  2. B \(\begin{aligned} &\frac{+q}{2+\sqrt{2}}\end{aligned}\)
  3. C \(\begin{aligned} & \frac{+2 q}{2+\sqrt{2}}\end{aligned}\)
  4. D \(\begin{aligned} & \frac{-q}{2+\sqrt{2}}\end{aligned}\)
