What is the angle between the electric dipole moment and the electric field strength due to it on the equatorial line? $(...^o)$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: The potential $(V)$ at any axial point, at $2 \ m$ distance $(r)$ from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector $\vec{P}$ of magnitude $4 \times 10^{-6} \ C \ m$, is $\pm 9 \times 10^3 \ V$.
(Take $\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \ SI$ units)
Reason $R$: $V = \pm \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{P}{r^2}$, where $r$ is the distance of any axial point, situated at $2 \ m$ from the centre of the dipole.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Two opposite and equal charges of $4 \times 10^{-8} \ C$ are placed at a distance of $2 \times 10^{-2} \ cm$ to form a dipole. If the dipole is placed in an external electric field of $4 \times 10^8 \ N/C$,calculate the maximum torque and the work done to rotate it by $180^{\circ}$.
