The correct answer is:
$\frac{\mathrm{V}}{6 \mathrm{r}}$
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{V}=\frac{\mathrm{q}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 \mathrm{r}}\left[1-\frac{1}{3}\right]=\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{q}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 \mathrm{r}} \\ & \mathrm{E}=\frac{\mathrm{q}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{1}{(3 \mathrm{r})^2}=\frac{\mathrm{q}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \cdot \frac{1}{9 \mathrm{r}^2} \\ & \frac{\mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{V}}=\frac{1}{6 \mathrm{r}} \\ & \therefore \mathrm{E}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{6 \mathrm{r}}\end{aligned}$
