The correct answers are:
The net electric flux crossing the plane $x=+a / 2$ is equal to the net electric flux crossing the plane $x=-$ $a / 2$, The net electric flux crossing the entire region is $\frac{q}{\varepsilon_{0}}$, The net electric flux crossing the plane $z=+a / 2$ is equal to the net electric flux crossing the plane $x=+a / 2$.
Due to symmetry, the net electric flux passing through $x=+\frac{a}{2}$, $x=-\frac{a}{2}, z=+\frac{a}{2}$ is same
According to Gauss's theorem, net electric flux net electric flux crossing through any closed surface $\phi=\frac{q_{\text {in }}}{\varepsilon_{0}}=$ $\frac{-q+3 q-q}{\varepsilon_{0}}=\frac{q}{\varepsilon_{0}}$.
