$\mathrm{F}=\frac{\mathrm{kq}_1 \mathrm{q}_2}{\mathrm{r}^2} \Rightarrow 30=\frac{\mathrm{k}(6)(10)}{\mathrm{r}^2} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{r}^2}=\frac{1}{2}$ Now, it $-8 \mu \mathrm{c}$ charge given on indivisual charge then, $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{F}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{k}(6-8)(10-8)}{\mathrm{r}^2}=\frac{1}{2} 	imes(-2) 	imes(2)=-2 \mathrm{~N} \ & 	herefore \quad \mathrm{~F}^{\prime}=2 \mathrm{~N}(	ext { Attract })\end{aligned}$
