The correct answer is: 12

Given:

E=2x2i^-4yj^+6k^

For top and bottom faces, as value of x=0 & y=0, electric field becomes constant and therefore net flux through these two faces will be zero(ϕz=0).

Now, Ex=2x2Ey=-4y and Ez=6.

Change in net flux through face at x=1 and at x=0 parallel to y-z plane can written as, ϕx=2×12×2×3-0=12.

Similarly, net flux through face at y=2 and y=0 parallel to x-z plane can be written as, ϕy=-4×2×1×3-0=-24

ϕnet=12-24=-12

Using Gauss's law,

ϕnet=qε0

q=12ε0
