Question

Five charges q₁, q₂, q₃,q₄, and q₅ are fixed at their positions
as shown in Figure, S is a Gaussian surface. The Gauss’ law
is given by ∫ₛ E.dS = q/ℰ₀. Which of the following statements
is correct?
(a) E on the LHS of the above equation will have a
contribution from q₁, q₅ and q₁, q₅ and q₃ while q on
the RHS will have a contribution from q₂ and q₄ only
(b) E on the LHS of the above equation will have a
contribution from all charges while q on the RHS will
have a contribution from q₂ and q₄ only
(c) E on the LHS of the above equation will have a
contribution from all charges while q on the RHS will
have a contribution from q₁, q₃ and q₅.
(d) Both E on the LHS and q on the RHS will have
contributions from q₂ and q₄ only
