The correct answer is:
$360 \mathrm{~N}$
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{F}=\mathrm{F}_1+\mathrm{F}_2 \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{F}=\frac{9 \times 10^9 \times 10 \times 5 \times 10^{-12}}{\left(5 \times 10^{-2}\right)^2} \times 2 \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{F}=\frac{9 \times 10 \times 5 \times 10^{-3}}{25 \times 10^{-4}} \times 2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{F}=360 \mathrm{~N}\end{aligned}$
